Pings a specified host or IP address from within the network context of a Service Probe.
| instance_id | Identifier of the Service Probe to use. Valid range is 1–9999. |
| host | Hostname or IPv4 address to ping. |
The ping is sent from within the probe's isolated network namespace, representing the perspective of a client device on the linked VLAN. The result is reported as Pass, Fail, or Not Completed.
Three ICMP echo requests are sent, each with a 2-second wait. If all three time out, the command takes up to 6 seconds to complete. In version 33.6.1 and later, this command runs asynchronously.
The following command pings a host using Service Probe 1:
run service-probe 1 ping 11.100.100.1
Sample output:
Pass: Ping to 11.100.100.1 using Service Probe with ID 1 succeeded
This command was first available in version 33.5.1.
All platforms.
