-h ttl: Configures the TTL value for echo requests to be sent. The TTL value ranges 
from 1 to 255. The default value is 255.
-iSpecifies an interface to send packets.
interface-type: Specifies the interface type.
interface-number: Specifies the interface number.
-n: Configures to take the host parameter as IP address without domain name 
resolution.
-ppattern is the hexadecimal padding of ICMP echo-request, for example -p ff 
pads the packet completely with ff. By default, the starting padding is 0x01, 
crescent, and the ending padding is 0x09, and then repeat.
-q: Configures not to display any other detailed information except statistics.
-r: Record route. By default, the system does not record route.
-s packetsize: Specifies the length of ECHO-REQUEST (excluding IP and ICMP 
packet header) in bytes. The length of the echo-request packet defaults to 56 
bytes.
-t timeout: Maximum waiting time after sending the echo-request (measured in 
ms). The time defaults to 2000 ms.
-tos tos: Specifies TOS value for echo requests to be sent, range from 0 to 255. 
The default value is 0.
-v: Displays other received ICMP packets (non echo-response). By default, no other 
non echo-response ICMP packets is displayed.
-vpn-instance vpn-instance-nam: VPN instance name.
host: Destination host domain name or IP address of the destination host.
ip: Chooses IP ICMP packet.
Description
Use the ping command to check the IP network connection and the reachability 
of the host.
The ping command sends ICMP ECHO-REQUEST message to the destination. If 
the network to the destination works well, then the destination host will send 
ICMP ECHO-REPLY to the source host after receiving ICMP ECHO-REQUEST.
Perform ping command to troubleshoot the network connection and line quality. 
The output information includes:
Responses to each of the ECHO-REQUEST messages. If the response message is 
not received until timeout, output "Request time out". Or display response 
message bytes, packet sequence number, TTL and response time.
