PING
Syntax
ping
ipaddress
Parameters
ipaddress Specifies the IP address of the network device to
receive the ICMP Echo Requests from the switch. You
can specify only one IP address.
Modes
Privileged Exec mode
Description
Use this command to instruct the switch to send ICMP Echo Requests to
network devices. You might use the command to determine whether there
is an active link between the switch and another network device, such as a
RADIUS server or a Telnet client, to troubleshoot communication
problems.
Note
To send ICMP Echo Requests the switch must have a management
IP address. For background information, refer to Chapter 9, “IPv4
and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 201.
Note
The switch sends the ICMP Echo Requests from the ports of the
VLAN assigned the management IP address. The device the switch
is pinging must be a member of that VLAN or must be accessible
through routers or other Layer 3 devices.
Example
This command instructs the switch to ping a network device with the IP
address 149.122.14.15
awplus> enable
awplus# ping 149.122.14.15
The results of the ping are displayed on the screen.
