XTENDED PING
When a normal ping command is sent from a OmniAccess 5740 USG, the source
address of the ping is the IP address of the interface that the packet uses to exit
the router. If an extended ping command is used, the source IP address can be
changed to any IP address on the OmniAccess 5740 USG. The extended ping is
used to perform a more advanced check of host reachability and network
connectivity.
In order to use this feature, enter ‘ping’ and press Enter. You are prompted for the
fields as described below.
Field Description
Enter the packet size[64]: Specify the size (in bytes) of the ping
packets that is to be sent out.
The range being 44-18032.
Default is 64 bytes.
Enter the number of
packets[5]:
Number of ping packets (ICMP echo
requests) to be sent. Default is 5 packets
and is the same as in normal ping.
Enter the Target ip-address: IP address to which the ping packets
have to be sent.
Enter the Source IP Address: Source IP address can be any IP
address on the OmniAccess 5740 USG.
If source IP address does not belong to
OmniAccess 5740 USG, an error
"Source IP Address does not belong to
the box.Ping may not be successful" is
thrown but still ping proceeds.
Enter the source interface: Interface through which the ping packets
(ICMP echo requests) are to be sent out.
If none is entered, out interface is
chosen depending on the Target IP
address.
Enter the TOS value[0]: Specify the Type of Service (ToS) value
in the range 0-255. The requested ToS is
placed in each probe, but there is no
guarantee that all routers process the
ToS. It is the Internet service's quality
selection.
The default is 0.
Enter the Time out value[2]: Specify the timeout interval in the range
1-3600.
The ping is declared successful only if
the ECHO REPLY packet is received
before this time interval.
Default is 2 seconds.
