Ping

The Ping program is an IP-based application used to test reachability to a specific IP address by sending an ICMP echo request and waiting for a reply. A Ping can test upstream or downstream connectivity.

Table 6-3. Ping Command

ping dest-ip[mgt -x source-ip][-l bytes] [-w time] [-i{eth1 dsl1}]

Minimum Access Level: Operator

Command Mode: Standard

Pings the specified destination IP address. Once Ping starts, the input prompt does not redisplay until the Ping is finished or aborted with Ctrl-c.

Example: ping 135.300.41.8 –l 144 –w 30 -i eth1

dest-ip– The destination IP address of the device to ping.

mgt – Specifies that the IP address is in the management domain (through the MCC). The mgt designation cannot be entered unless you have Administrator access level. Do not use this designation with the –xsource-ipselection.

source-ip– The source IP address to be used. The default source IP address is from the service domain in which the test is being done. The IP address is validated to verify that it is an interface IP address.

bytes – Bytes of data sent. The default is 64 bytes; the range is 0–15,000.

time – Number of seconds to wait before ending ping attempt. The default is 10 seconds; the range is 0–60.

interface – Specifies the target interface for the command. Do not use with –xsource-ipselection.

eth1 – Ethernet interface

dsl1 – DSL interface
