ONNECTIVITY

The Summit offers the following two commands for checking basic connectivity:

ping

traceroute

mtrace

The 

ping

 command enables you to send Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo 

messages to a remote IP device. The 

ping

 command is available for both the user and 

administrator privilege level. 

The 

ping

 command syntax is

ping {continuous} {size <n>} <ip_address>

Options for the ping command are described in 

If a 

ping

 request fails, the switch continues to send 

ping

 messages until interrupted. 

Press any key to interrupt a 

ping

 request.

The 

traceroute

 command enables you to trace the routed path between the switch and 

a destination endstation. The 

traceroute

 command syntax is

traceroute <ip_address>

where 

ip_address

 is the IP address of the destination endstation.
