Description
<A.B.C.D or
Hostname>
Specify:
•
the IP address of the target device in dotted-decimal
notation
•
the hostname of the device to ping (The hostname
can be a simple name, such as fred; in this case
the DNS domain name, if set, is appended. Or
the hostname can be a full hostname, such as
fred.ca.nortel.com.)
If the device receives the packet, it sends a ping reply. When the switch
receives the reply, it displays a message indicating that the specified IP
address is being used. If no reply is received, a message indicates that the
address is not responding.
Figure 60 "ping command responses" (page 186) displays sample ping
responses.
