| 7.5 | Monitoring and Managing an IPX Network | ||
| 7.5.7 | Using the privileged IPX ping command |
| Cisco IOS software provides an IPX
version of the
ping
command to aid in network troubleshooting.
The
ping
command enables network administrators to verify that
a particular node is capable of responding to network requests. This
feature helps determine whether a physical path exists through a
station that is causing network problems. IPX
ping
is a Novell
standard and can be used with Novell clients and servers and network
devices. To check host reachability and network connectivity, use the ping in privileged EXEC command mode. The full syntax of the command is: ping [ipx] [network.node] The information in the table is a description of the parameters used in this command. The privileged ping
command
provides a complete ping facility for users who have system
privileges. You cannot ping a router from itself. To abort a ping session, type the escape sequence. By default, this is Ctrl-^-X or Ctrl-shift 6-X. You enter this by simultaneously pressing the Ctrl, Shift, and 6 keys, letting go, and then pressing the X key. The information in the table describes
the test characters displayed in ping responses.
