Exit the configuration session to stop using the command line interface.
Ping
Send an echo message to another device. Pinging a device is used to see if you can communicate
with a device at a specified IP address or that has a local host name. A packet is sent to the device,
which in turn responds by sending return packets if communication is successful. If communication
fails, an “unknown host” message is displayed or the command times out with no reply.
Ping commands are available at both the read and enable levels.
ping <ipaddress|hostname>
Specify the IP address to ping using 5 packets.
ping flood <ipaddress|hostname>
Specify the IP address or host name of a device to ping without waiting for a response before
sending each packet. Packets are sent continuously as fast as possible until you press Ctrl-C on
your computer. This command should be used with caution, since it causes a very high level of
network traffic while executing.
ping flood
Enter this command to ping a host computer named “flood”.
ping flood count <1-100000> <ipaddress|hostname>
Specify the IP address or host name of a device to ping, and the number of packets to send,
without waiting for a response before sending each packet. Packets are sent as fast as possible
until the count has elapsed or until you press Ctrl-C on your computer.
ping count <1-100000> <ipaddress|hostname>
Specify the number of packets to use, and the IP address or host name, to ping a device. The
Wi-Fi AP/Bridge waits for a reply from the host after each packet is sent before another packet
is sent.
ping count <1-100000> flood <ipaddress|hostname>
Specify the number of packets to send, and the IP address or host name of a device, to ping
without waiting for a response before sending each packet. Packets are sent as fast as possible
until the count has elapsed or until you press Ctrl-C on your computer.
