ping
Purpose Used to test the connectivity between network devices.
Syntax
ping <ipaddr> {times <value 1–255>} {timeout <sec 1–99>}
Description This command sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo messages to a
remote IP address. The remote IP address will then “echo” or return the message. This is
used to confirm connectivity between the Switch and the remote device.
Parameters <ipaddr> – Specifies the IP address of the host.
times <value 1–255> – The number of individual ICMP echo messages to be sent. The
maximum value is 255.
timeout <sec 1–99> – Defines the time–out period while waiting for a response from the
remote device. A value of 1 to 99 seconds can be specified. The default is 1 second.
Restrictions None.
Example usage:
To ping the IP address 10.48.74.121 four times:
DGS–3426:5#ping 10.48.74.121 times 4

ping6
Purpose Used to test the connectivity between IPv6 ready network devices.
Syntax
ping6 <ipv6addr> {times <value 0–255> | size <value 1–6000>} {timeout <value 1–
10>}
Description This command sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) echo messages to a
remote IPv6 address. The remote IP address will then “echo” or return the message. This
is used to confirm connectivity between the Switch and the remote device.
Parameters <ipv6addr> – Specifies the IP address of the host.
times <value 0–255> – The number of individual ICMP echo messages to be sent. The
maximum value is 255.
size <value 1–6000> – Use this parameter to set the datagram size of the packet, or in
essence, the number of bytes in each ping packet. Users may set a size between 1 and
6000 bytes with a default setting of 100 bytes.
timeout <value 1–10> – Select a timeout period between 1 and 10 seconds for this Ping
message to reach its destination. If the packet fails to find the IPv6 address in this
specified time, the Ping packet will be dropped.
Restrictions None.
