CLI Usage
Basic System Configuration Guide 73
A user cannot configure a non-conformant password for themselves using the global password
command. A password value that does not conform to the minimum-length or other password
complexity rules can be configured using the config>system>security>user>password command
(for example, by an administrator), but a warning is provided in the CLI. This allows, for example, an
administrator to configure a non-conformant password for a user.
ping
Syntax ping {ip-address | ipv6-address | dns-name} [rapid | detail] [ttl time-to-live] [tos type-of-
service] [size bytes] [pattern pattern] [source ip-address] [interval seconds] [{next-hop ip-
address} | {interface interface-name} | bypass-routing] [count requests] [do-not-fragment]
[router [router-instance] [timeout timeout]
Context <global>
Description This command is the TCP/IP utility to verify IP reachability.
Parameters ip-address | dns-name — The remote host to ping. The IP address or the DNS name (if DNS name
resolution is configured) can be specified.
ipv6-address — The IPv6 IP address (applies to the 7750 SR and 7950 XRS).
Values x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x (eight 16-bit pieces)
x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d
x: 0 to FFFF H
d: 0 to 255 D
rapid | detail — The rapid parameter specifies to send ping requests rapidly. The results are
reported in a single message, not in individual messages for each ping request. By default,
five ping requests are sent before the results are reported. To change the number of requests,
include the count option.
The detail parameter includes in the output the interface on which the ping reply was
received.
