2. In the Network Host field, enter the network and host address of the
remote device you want to ping.
The Network ID is the 32-bit serial number of the server node that identifies
the logical grouping of nodes on a VINES network. The Host address is the
16-bit subnetwork number that identifies the node within the server node’s
logical grouping.
3. In the Timeout field, enter the number of seconds after which each ping
times out. The default Timeout is 1 second.
If the router receives a response to a ping after it has timed out, it does not
send an “alive” message to Site Manager.
4. In the Retries field, enter the number of successive times the router
should repeat the ping. The default for Retries is 0.
The router does not wait for the timeout before it sends the next ping.
5. In the Packet Size field, enter the number of bytes of data to send with
each ping. The default is 16.
6. In the Traceroute field, specify y (yes) if you want the router to generate a
path report that displays the intervening hop addresses to the
destination. The default is n (no).
7. Click on Ping.
VINES Ping Responses
Site Manager displays one of the following messages when you issue a VINES
ping (if you enter a value for Retries, Site Manager displays one of the following
messages for the default ping, plus one for each additional ping):
• An “alive” message appears if the router receives a response from the target
device within the timeout allowed. The message also indicates the size of the
test packet. A sample message follows:
VINES ping: 2705682.8003 is alive (size = 16 bytes)
Note: You can enter the network and host addresses in decimal or hexadecimal
format. If you use hexadecimal format, precede each address with the 0x
prefix.
