ONNECTIVITY
The Summit offers the following two commands for checking basic connectivity:
•
ping
•
traceroute
•
mtrace
P
ING
The
ping
command enables you to send Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo
messages to a remote IP device. The
ping
command is available for both the user and
administrator privilege level.
The
ping
command syntax is
ping {continuous} {size <n>} <ip_address>
Options for the ping command are described in Table 3-9.
If a
ping
request fails, the switch continues to send
ping
messages until interrupted.
Press any key to interrupt a
ping
request.
T
RACEROUTE
The
traceroute
command enables you to trace the routed path between the switch and
a destination endstation. The
traceroute
command syntax is
traceroute <ip_address>
where
ip_address
is the IP address of the destination endstation.
