data-size <bytes_int>

Enter datagram size in bytes.This allows you to send out packets of different sizes for testing the effect of packet size on the connection. If you want to configure the pattern that will be used to buffer small datagrams to reach this size, also configure pattern <bufferpattern_hex>.

df-bit {yes | no}

Enter either yes to set the DF bit in the IP header to prevent the ICMP packet from being fragmented, or enter no to allow the ICMP packet to be fragmented.

pattern <bufferpattern_hex>

Enter a hexadecimal pattern, such as 00ffaabb, to fill the optional data buffer at the end of the ICMP packet. The size of the buffer is determined by data-size <bytes_int>.

repeat-count <repeat_int>

Enter the number of times to repeat the ping.

source {auto | <interface_ipv4>}

Select the network interface from which the ping is sent. Enter either auto or a mail network interface’s IP address.

timeout <seconds_int>

Enter the ping response timeout in seconds.

tos {default | lowcost | lowdelay | reliability | throughput}

Enter the IP type-of-service option value, either:

• default: Do not indicate (that is, set the TOS byte to 0).
• lowcost: Minimize cost.
• lowdelay: Minimize delay.
• reliability: Maximize reliability.
• throughput: Maximize throughput.

ttl <hops_int>

Enter the time-to-live (TTL) value.

validate-reply {yes | no}

Select whether or not to validate ping replies.
