l2 ping ip-address

Syntax

• l2 ping {ip-address WORD<0–255>} [burst-count <1–200>] [data-tlv-size <0–400>] [frame-size <64–1500>] [priority <0–7>] [source-mode <nodal|smltVirtual>] [testfill-pattern <all-zero|all-zero-crc|pseudo-random-bit-sequence|pseudo-random-bit-sequence-crc>] [time-out <1–10>] [vrf WORD<1–16>]

Command Parameters

burst-count <1-200>

Specifies the burst count.

data-tlv-size <0-400>

Specifies the data Type-Length-Value (TLV) size. The default is 0.

frame-size <64-1500>

Specifies the frame size. The default is 0.

priority <0-7>

Specifies the priority. The default is 7.

source-mode <nodal|smltVirtual>

Specifies the source mode of nodal or smltVirtual. Nodal MPs provide both MEP and MIP functionality for SPBM deployments. Nodal MPs are associated with a B-VLAN and are VLAN encapsulated packets. The switch supports SMLT interaction with SPBM. The platform uses two B-VIDs into the core from each pair of SMLT terminating nodes. Both nodes advertise the Nodal BMAC into the core on both B-VIDS. In addition each node advertises the SMLT virtual BMAC on one of the two B-VLANs. The default is nodal.

testfill-pattern <all-zero|all-zero-crc|pseudo-random-bit-sequence|pseudo-random-bit-sequence-crc>

Specifies the testfill pattern:

• all-zero: null signal without cyclic redundancy check

• all-zero-crc: null signal with cyclic redundancy check with 32-bit polynomial

• pseudo-random-bit-sequence: PRBS without cyclic redundancy check

• pseudo-random-bit-sequence-crc: PBRS with cyclic redundancy check with 32-bit polynomial

A cyclic redundancy check is a code that detects errors. The default is all-zero.

time-out <1-10>

Specifies the interval in seconds. The default is 3.

vrf WORD<1-16>

Specifies the VRF name.

WORD<0-255>

Specifies the IP address.

Default

None

Command Mode

User EXEC

Usage Guidelines

The source-mode smltVirtual parameter does not apply to 5320 Series.
