AppleTalk Ping
AppleTalk Ping is a network-layer test that sends an AppleTalk Echo
Protocol (AEP) message to another AppleTalk node. The router must
have AppleTalk routing configured in order to use this test.
1. At the NCL prompt, enter one of the following commands:
atping x.y [Enter]
atping x.y wait [Enter]
where:
x is the target node’s network number.
y is the node identifier.
wait (optional) is how many seconds to wait for a response. If
wait is not specified, the response must be received in five sec-
onds to be successful.
2. You will see a message, indicating either that the target node is
alive—meaning that communications are passing successfully from
the router to the remote node on a specific link—or that the remote
node did not respond. If you cannot reach any remote node, the
problem must be isolated to the router, the links used in the test, or
all of the remote nodes.
For more details, refer to the Operator’s Reference.
