Using ping and loopback Commands
Use the show diag command to view all the interface types installed in your system. Use the show
diag slot command to view information about port adapters on a VIP2 that is installed in your
system, as shown in the following example of a PA-4T+ on a VIP2 that is in interface processor

“Related Documentation” section on page vi. Proceed to the following section “Using ping and
loopback Commands.”
Using ping and loopback Commands
The packet internet groper(ping) and loopback commandsallow you to verify thatan interface port
is functioning properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected devices at
various locations on the network. This section provides brief descriptions of these commands. After
you verify that the system has booted successfully and is operational, you can use these commands
to verify the statusof interface ports.Refer to the publicationslisted in the “RelatedDocumentation”
section on page vi for detailed command descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify.
After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo
the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal;
each signal that is not returned before the specified time-out is displayed as a period (.). A series of
exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages
[timed out] or [failed] indicate that the connection failed.
