Help

The help command displays instructions on how to access help on the CLI.

Syntax:

FSM726# ?

To access Help on specific command, you enter a question mark behind the command in question, then a list of available options will be presented to you. For example, suppose you want to know the available options to the command cos. You would enter cos ?.

Ping

The ping command is used to check network connectivity. It lets you send a small packet to a particular host. Once the host receives the packet, it will return the packet to its source. The time the packet takes for this round trip is recorded in milliseconds. If the destination host is not available, an error message is returned.

Syntax

FSM726# ping <IP address>
