Pinging an IP Station 10-23
Pinging an IP
Station
Ping uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo facility to
send an ICMP echo request packet to the IP station that you specify. Ping
then waits for an ICMP echo reply packet. Possible responses from ping:
■ Alive
■ No answer
■ Network is unreachable
A network is unreachable when there is no route to that network.
To ping an IP station:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip ping
2 Enter the IP address of the station that you want to ping.
IP Address: 192.9.200.40
You may receive one of the following types of responses:
192.9.200.40 is alive
OR
no answer from 192.9.200.40
For a remote IP address, you may also receive the following response:
