To verify that another device in the network can receive IP packets sent by 
the WX switch, use the following command: 

ping host [count num-packets] [dnf] [flood] [interval time] 
[size size] [source-ip ip-addr | vlan-name]

To ping a device that has IP address 10.1.1.1, type the following command:

WX1200# ping 10.1.1.1
PING 10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1) from 10.9.4.34 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.769 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.628 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.676 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=0.619 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=255 time=0.608 ms
--- 10.1.1.1 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0 errors, 0% packet loss

In this example, the ping is successful, indicating that the WX switch has 
IP connectivity with the other device.

(For information about the command options, see the 

.)

From within an MSS console session or Telnet session, you can use the 
Telnet client to establish a Telnet client session from a WX switch’s CLI to 
another device. To establish a Telnet client session with another device, 
use the following command:

telnet {ip-addr | hostname} [port port-num]

To establish a Telnet session from WX switch WX1200 to 10.10.10.90, 
type the following command:

WX1200# telnet 10.10.10.90
Session 0 pty tty2.d Trying 10.10.10.90...
Connected to 10.10.10.90
Disconnect character is '^t'
