Pings an IPX node to test its reachability. The software supports two different types of IPX pings: 
Novell— used to test the reachability of NetWare servers currently running the NetWare Loadable 
Module called IPXRTR.NLM; and alcatel-lucent—used to test the reachability of Alcatel-Lucent switches 
on which IPX routing has been enabled.

ping ipx network_number network_node [count packets] [size bytes] [timeout seconds] [type 
packet_type]

Network of the node you want to ping.

Node you want to ping in hexadecimal format (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx).

Number of ping messages (packets) to send.

Message packet size, in bytes. Valid range is 1–8192 (1–1492 for Ether-
net)

Number of seconds in which a response must be returned (0 = infinite).

Packet type (novell or alcatel-lucent).

• When entering the network number you only need to enter the necessary characters and the system will 

backfill the remainder of the number format.

• Use the basic command to send a default packet. The packet will use the default parameters for count, 

size, timeout, and type.

• Use the novell packet type to test the reachability of NetWare servers running the NetWare Loadable 

Module (IPXRTR.NLM). This type cannot be used to reach NetWare workstations running IPXODI. 
Novell uses a unique type of ping for this purpose (implemented by their IPXPNG.EXE program), 
which is not currently supported by the switch software. Other vendors’ switches may respond to this 
type of ping.
