ping
Ping a device to test the connection between the switch and another network device. After
you ping a device, the switch sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packet to
the target device. If the device receives the packet, it sends a ping reply. After the
switch receives the reply, displays a message that indicates traffic can reach the
specified IP address. If the switch does not receive a reply, the message indicates the
address is not responding.
Syntax

Command parameters for ping varies depending on the parameter
input order. All syntax possibilites are not listed. You can use the CLI help to

Command Parameters
- interface gigabitEthernet {slot/port[sub-port]}
- Specifies a specific outgoing
interface to use by IP address. {slot/port[sub-port]} identifies a single slot and
port. If your platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you
must also specify the subport in the format slot/port/sub-port.
- interface gigabitEthernet {slot/port[sub-port]} | tunnel <1-2000> | vlan
<1-4059>
- Specifies a specific outgoing
interface to use by IP address. Additional ping interface filters:
gigabitEthernet: {slot/port[sub-port]} gigabit vlan: Specifies the VLAN ID in the
range of 1 to 4059. By default, VLAN IDs 1 to 4059 are configurable and the system
reserves VLAN IDs 4060 to 4094 for internal use. If you enable VRF scaling and
SPBM mode, the system also reserves VLAN IDs 3500 to 3998. VLAN ID 1 is the
default VLAN and you cannot create or delete VLAN ID 1.
- mgmt
- Ping a network connection using a zero source IP address and route lookup in the
main table.
- mgmt clip
- Ping a network connection using a
Segmented Management Instance. If you do not use the mgmt parameter, the ping
command uses the IP routing stack to initiate the ping request.
- mgmt oob
- Ping a network connection using a
Segmented Management Instance. If you do not use the mgmt parameter, the ping
command uses the IP routing stack to initiate the ping request.
Note
Exception: not supported on VSP 8600
Series or XA1400
Series.
- mgmt vlan
- Ping a network connection using a
Segmented Management Instance. If you do not use the mgmt parameter, the ping
command uses the IP routing stack to initiate the ping request.
Note
Exception: not supported on VSP 8600
Series.
- WORD <0-256>
- Specifies the host name or IPv4
(a.b.c.d) or IPv6 (x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x) address (string length 0-256). Specifies the
address to ping.
- WORD<0-256> count <1-9999>
- Specifies the number of times to
ping(for IPV4/IPV6).
- WORD<0-256> -d
- Configures the ping debug mode.
This variable detects local software failures (ping related threads creation or
write to sending socket) and receiving issues (ICMP packet too short or wrong ICMP
packet type) (for IPV4/IPV6).
- WORD<0-256> datasize <28-51200>
- Specifies the size of ping data
sent in bytes. The datasize for IPv4 addresses is <28-9216>. The datasize
for IPv6 addresses is <28-51200>. The default is 0.
- WORD<0-256> grt
- Specifies the ping is executed in Global Router (GRT) context.
- WORD<0-256> -I <1-60>
- Specifies the interval between
transmissions (for IPV4/IPV6).
- WORD<0-256> interface mgmtEthernet mgmt
- Specifies an IP address that will
be used as the source IP address in the packet header.
Note
Exception: only supported on VSP 8600
Series.
- WORD<0-256> interface tunnel <1-2000>
- Specifies the tunnel
interface.
- WORD<0-256> interface vlan <1-4059>
- Specifies the virtual routing and
forwarding (VRF) name from 1-16 characters.
- WORD<0-256> -s
- Configures the continuous ping at
the interval rate defined by the [-I] parameter (for IPV4/IPV6).
- WORD<0-256> scopeid <1-9999>
- Specifies the scope ID.
<1-9999> specifies the circuit ID for IPv6.
- WORD<0-256> source WORD<1-256>
- Specifies an IP address that will
be used as the source IP address in the packet header.
- WORD<0-256> -t <1-120>
- Specifies the no-answer timeout
value in seconds (1-120) (for IPV4/IPV6).
- WORD<0-256> vrf WORD<1-16>
- Specifies the virtual routing and
forwarding (VRF) name from 1-16 characters.
Usage Guidelines
The options [-d], [-I], [interface], [scopeid], [source], and [vrf] are not available if
the mgmt keyword is specified.
All command parameters do not apply to all hardware platforms. For more information
