Tracing the Route
This command syntax traces the network route between your BCM2
device and a network host.
Variables:
• <host> is the name or IP address of the host you want to trace.
Example - Ping Command
The following command checks the network connectivity of the host
192.168.84.222 by sending the ICMP ECHO_REQUEST message to the
host for 5 times.
ping 192.168.84.222 count 5
Retrieving Previous Commands
If you would like to retrieve any command that was previously typed in
the same connection session, press the Up arrow ( ) on the keyboard
several times until the desired command is displayed.
Automatically Completing a Command
A CLI command always consists of several words. You can easily enter a
command by typing first word(s) or letter(s) and then pressing Tab or
Ctrl+i instead of typing the whole command word by word.
To have a command completed automatically:
1. Type initial letters or words of the desired command. Make sure the
letters or words you typed are unique so that the CLI can identify the
command you want.
2. Press Tab or Ctrl+i until the complete command appears.
3. If there are more than one possible commands, a list of these
commands is displayed. Then type the full command.
