IP Commands
page 29-14 OmniSwitch 6250 CLI Reference Guide November 2009
ping
Tests whether an IP destination can be reached from the local switch. This command sends an ICMP echo
request to a destination and then waits for a reply. To ping a destination, enter the ping command and
enter either the destination’s IP address or hostname. The switch will ping the destination using the default
frame count, packet size, interval, and timeout parameters (6 frames, 64 bytes, 1 second, and 5 seconds
respectively). You can also customize any or all of these parameters as described below.
ping {ip_address | hostname} [count count] [size packet_size] [interval seconds] [timeout seconds]
Syntax Definitions
ip_address IP address of the system to ping.
hostname DNS name of the system to ping.
count Number of frames to be transmitted.
packet_size Size of the data portion of the packet sent for this ping, in bytes. Valid
range is 1–60000.
interval seconds Polling interval. The switch will poll the host at time intervals specified
