Execute ping commands in any view.

Task Command

Remarks

Test the network connectivity to an

IP address.

• For an IPv4 network:

ping [ ip ] [ -a source-ip | -c

count | -f | -h ttl | -i

interface-type interface-number

| -m interval | -n | -p pad | -q

| -r | -s packet-size | -t timeout

| -tos tos | -v | -vpn-instance

vpn-instance-name ] * host

• For an IPv6 network:

ping ipv6 [ -a source-ipv6 | -c

count | -m interval | -s

packet-size | -t timeout |

-vpn-instance

vpn-instance-name ] * host [ -i

interface-type

interface-number ]

Set a larger value for the timeout

timer (indicated by the -t

parameter in the command) when

you configure the ping command

for a low-speed network.

Disabling the echo reply function

on the destination affects the ping

function.

Support for the ping ipv6

command depends on the device

model.
