ICX Source PING

Question

It appears we have a very basic ping command, even in version 9.0.10

Is there some other command ( I can't find) to perform source pings from a L3 enabled ICX ?

thanks

Hello @inphobia  ,

Thanks for the reference, based on my understanding of this issue, only code 10.0.10 was affected.

Tested using ICX7550-48F - Code GZR09010j_cd1 and not issues on this.

and here's the reference for 09.0.10 which you said you're using:

https://docs.commscope.com/bundle/fastiron-09010-commandref/page/GUID-B1E8FC7E-5D6F-4C17-860C-F0B6F6A3F1E1.html

no idea if case 01631172 is also present on 09.0.10 , but that was a fun one 😉

Hello @BsergentNZ  ,

You can ping using a source address through virtual interfaces, including loopback interfaces .... etc , by utilizing a valid and active IP address on your switch.

Here is the Guide : https://docs.commscope.com/bundle/fastiron-08030-adminguide/page/GUID-39101781-07F5-4E13-BB2E-1D6E6E95129B.html

Example using  ICX7550-48F - Code GZR09010j_cd1
 
Device-A#ping 192.168.0.1 source 10.0.0.1
Sending 1, 16-byte ICMP Echo to 192.168.0.1, timeout 5000 msec, TTL 64
Type Control-c to abort
Reply from 192.168.0.1 : bytes=16 time=2ms TTL=64
Success rate is 100 percent (1/1), round-trip min/avg/max=2/2/2 ms.
 
Device-A#show ip address
IP Address Type Lease Time Interface

I don't know if you were referring to this
