Using the ping Command

Use the ping command to diagnose network connectivity. In EXEC mode, enter a hostname or an IP
address as an argument to this command. In administration EXEC mode, you can use the fabric or the
control Ethernet network (in a multishelf system) to ping other nodes.
The ping command sends an echo request packet to a destination, then awaits a reply. Ping output can
help you evaluate path-to-destination reliability, delays over the path, and whether the destination can
be reached or is functioning.
