Chapter 3: IPv4 Management Address Commands
36
PING
Syntax
ping
ip_addr
Parameter
ip_addr
Specifies the IPv4 address of a network device.
Modes
Privileged Exec mode
Description
Use this command to have the switch send ICMP Echo Requests to
network devices with IPv4 addresses. 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. You can ping only one device at a
time.
The switch must have an IPv4 management IP address to ping IPv4
network devices.
The device being pinged must be a member of the Default VLAN
and within the same local area network as the switch. The device
must be communicating with the switch through a port that is an
untagged or a tagged member of the Default VLAN.
Example
This command instructs the switch to ping a network device with the IPv4
address 149.122.14.15:
ATGS950_28PS# ping 149.122.14.15
The results of the ping are displayed on the screen.
