ping board
The
board
qualifier specifies which C-LAN circuit pack from which to ping. By
adding the
board UUCSS qualifier to the command, you can also specify which
C-LAN circuit pack (in the case of multiple C-LAN circuit packs). If only one
C-LAN circuit pack is present, the
board
qualifier is optional.

The
packet-length
qualifier specifies the packet length of the ping packet.
Packet lengths of from 64 to 1500 bytes can be specified. The
packet-length
qualifier is optional, and if not used, the default packet length is 64 bytes.
Specifying a longer packet length in the command line can show
■ if a router or host has a problem fragmenting or reassembling transferred
packets

If the packet length is not specified, the default is 64 bytes. You can add the
packet-length
qualifier and the packet size (64-1500 bytes) to the other ping
