fcping
5 frames sent, 5 frames received, 0 timeouts
Round-trip min/avg/max = 165/270/730 usec
The following example shows the setting of the number of frames to be sent using the count option. The
range is from 0 through 2147483647. A value of 0 will ping forever.
switch# fcping fcid 0xd70000 vsan 1 count 10
28 bytes from 0xd70000 time = 730 usec
28 bytes from 0xd70000 time = 165 usec
28 bytes from 0xd70000 time = 262 usec
28 bytes from 0xd70000 time = 219 usec
28 bytes from 0xd70000 time = 228 usec
28 bytes from 0xd70000 time = 230 usec
28 bytes from 0xd70000 time = 230 usec
28 bytes from 0xd70000 time = 225 usec
28 bytes from 0xd70000 time = 229 usec
28 bytes from 0xd70000 time = 183 usec
10 frames sent, 10 frames received, 0 timeouts
Round-trip min/avg/max = 165/270/730 usec
The following example shows the setting of the timeout value. The default period to wait is 5 seconds.
The range is from 1 through 10 seconds.
switch# fcping fcid 0xd500b4 vsan 1 timeout 10
28 bytes from 0xd500b4 time = 1345 usec
28 bytes from 0xd500b4 time = 417 usec
28 bytes from 0xd500b4 time = 340 usec
28 bytes from 0xd500b4 time = 451 usec
28 bytes from 0xd500b4 time = 356 usec
5 frames sent, 5 frames received, 0 timeouts
Round-trip min/avg/max = 340/581/1345 usec
This command shows the No response from the N port message even when the N port or NL port is
active. This is due to resource exhaustion at the N port or NL port. Retry the command a few seconds
later.
switch# fcping fcid 0x010203 vsan 1
No response from the N port.
switch# fcping pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:6f:db:dd vsan 1
28 bytes from 21:00:00:20:37:6f:db:dd time = 1454 usec
28 bytes from 21:00:00:20:37:6f:db:dd time = 471 usec
28 bytes from 21:00:00:20:37:6f:db:dd time = 372 usec
28 bytes from 21:00:00:20:37:6f:db:dd time = 364 usec
28 bytes from 21:00:00:20:37:6f:db:dd time = 1261 usec
5 frames sent, 5 frames received, 0 timeouts
Round-trip min/avg/max = 364/784/1454 usec
The following example displays fcping operation for the device alias of the specified destination.
switch# fcping device-alias x vsan 1
28 bytes from 21:01:00:e0:8b:2e:80:93 time = 358 usec
28 bytes from 21:01:00:e0:8b:2e:80:93 time = 226 usec
28 bytes from 21:01:00:e0:8b:2e:80:93 time = 372 usec
