5000 Series Set-Based Switch
Use the IP utilities Ping, Telnet, and traceroute to test the switch in the
network:
Todd5000> (enable) ping 172.16.10.10
172.16.10.10 is alive
Todd5000> (enable) telnet ?
Usage: telnet <host> [port]
(host is IP alias or IP address in dot notation:
a.b.c.d)
Todd5000> (enable) traceroute
Usage: traceroute [-n] [-w wait] [-i initial_ttl] [-m max_
ttl]
[-p dest_port] [-q nqueries] [-t tos] host [data_
size]
(wait = 1..300, initial_ttl = 1..255, max_ttl = 1..255
dest_port = 1..65535, nqueries = 1..1000, tos = 0..255
data_size = 0..1420, host is IP alias or IP address in
dot notation: a.b.c.d)
You can use the keystrokes Ctrl+Shift+6, then x, as an escape sequence.
1900 IOS-Based Switch
You can use the Ping program, and you can telnet into the 1900 switch.
However, you cannot telnet from the 1900 switch or use traceroute:
