Pinging a Remote Host or IP Address

You can verify the network connectivity with a remote host or IP address by pinging the network entity.

■

IPv4: The ping to an IPv4 address can be done from any of the device's VoIP or data-router interfaces that is configured with an IPv4 address. The ping is done using the following CLI command:

# ping <IPv4 ip address or hostname> source [voip] interface

■

IPv6: The ping to an IPv6 address can be done only from a data-router interface and that is configured with an IPv6 address. The ping is done using the following CLI command:

# ping ipv6 <IPv6 address or hostname> source data [vrf | source-address interface| interface] [size <max. IP packet size>] [repeat <1-300>]

For a complete description of the ping command, refer to the CLI Reference Guide.
