Command Function
ping
This command sends
ICMP echo request
packets to another
node on the network.
Syntax:
ping host [size size] [count count]
• host - IP address or IP alias of the host.
• size - Number of bytes in a packet.
(Range: 32-512, default: 32)
The actual packet size will be eight bytes larger than the size specified because the
switch adds header information.
• count - Number of packets to send. (Range: 1-16, default: 5)
Default Setting: This command has no default for the host.
Command Mode: Normal Exec, Privileged Exec
Command Usage: Use the ping command to see if another site on the network can
be reached.
Following are some results of the ping command:
• Normal response - The normal response occurs in one to ten seconds, depending
on network traffic.
• Destination does not respond - If the host does not respond, a “timeout” appears in
ten seconds.
• Destination unreachable - The gateway for this destination indicates that the
destination is unreachable.
• Network or host unreachable - The gateway found no corresponding entry in the
route table.
Press <Esc> to stop pinging.
