Parameter
packets number: Sets the maximum times to send ping packets. The number 
argument ranges from 0 to 10 and defaults to 2. Value of 0 specifies not to send 
any ping packet.
timeout milliseconds: Sets the maximum time to wait for a response to a ping 
packet. The milliseconds argument is in the unit of milliseconds; it ranges from 0 
to 10000 and defaults to 500.
Description
Use the dhcp server ping command to set the maximum times to send ping 
packets or the maximum time for the DHCP server to wait for a response after 
sending a ping packet.
Use the undo dhcp server ping command to revert to the corresponding default 
setting.
CAUTION: The host’s interval of sending discover packets is in the range of 15 
seconds to 30 seconds. When the ping command is used for collision detection, 
the host will fail to apply for IP addresses if the server’s time to wait for a response 
to a ping packet is longer than the host’s interval of sending discover packets. So 
you had better satisfy the condition that the server’s time to wait for a response to 
a ping packet must be shorter than 15 seconds when the ping command is used 
for collision detection.
