Network Commands
################
Introduction
============
The RTEMS shell has the following network commands:
- ``netstats`` - obtain network statistics
- ``ifconfig`` - configure a network interface
- ``route`` - show or manipulate the IP routing table
- ``ping`` - ping a host or IP address
Commands
========
This section details the Network Commands available. A
subsection is dedicated to each of the commands and
describes the behavior and configuration of that
command as well as providing an example usage.

\[-M mask | time] \[-m ttl] \[-p pattern] \[-S src_addr]
\[-s packetsize] \[-T ttl] \[-t timeout] \[-W waittime]
\[-z tos] mcast-group
**DESCRIPTION:**
The ping utility uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST
datagram to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway.
ECHO_REQUEST datagrams ("pings") have an IP and ICMP header,
followed by a "struct timeval" and then an arbitrary number of
"pad" bytes used to fill out the packet. The options are as
follows:
*-A*
Audible. Output a bell (ASCII 0x07) character when no packet is
received before the next packet is transmitted. To cater for
round-trip times that are longer than the interval between
transmissions, further missing packets cause a bell only if the
maximum number of unreceived packets has increased.
*-a*
Audible. Include a bell (ASCII 0x07) character in the output when any
packet is received. This option is ignored if other format options
are present.
*-c count*
Stop after sending (and receiving) count ECHO_RESPONSE packets. If
this option is not specified, ping will operate until interrupted. If
this option is specified in conjunction with ping sweeps, each sweep
will consist of count packets.
*-D*
Set the Don't Fragment bit.
*-d*
Set the SO_DEBUG option on the socket being used.
*-f*
Flood ping. Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one
hundred times per second, whichever is more. For every ECHO_REQUEST
sent a period "." is printed, while for every ECHO_REPLY received a
backspace is printed. This provides a rapid display of how many
packets are being dropped. Only the super-user may use this option.
This can be very hard on a network and should be used with caution.
*-G sweepmaxsize*
Specify the maximum size of ICMP payload when sending sweeping pings.
This option is required for ping sweeps.
*-g sweepminsize*
Specify the size of ICMP payload to start with when sending sweeping
pings. The default value is 0.
*-h sweepincrsize*
Specify the number of bytes to increment the size of ICMP payload
after each sweep when sending sweeping pings. The default value is 1.
*-I iface*
Source multicast packets with the given interface address. This flag
only applies if the ping destination is a multicast address.
*-i wait*
Wait wait seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait
for one second between each packet. The wait time may be fractional,
but only the super-user may specify values less than 1 second. This
option is incompatible with the -f option.
*-L*
Suppress loopback of multicast packets. This flag only applies if the
ping destination is a multicast address.
*-l preload*
If preload is specified, ping sends that many packets as fast as
possible before falling into its normal mode of behavior. Only the
super-user may use this option.
*-M mask | time*
Use ICMP_MASKREQ or ICMP_TSTAMP instead of ICMP_ECHO. For mask, print
the netmask of the remote machine. Set the net.inet.icmp.maskrepl MIB
variable to enable ICMP_MASKREPLY. For time, print the origination,
reception and transmission timestamps.
*-m ttl*
Set the IP Time To Live for outgoing packets. If not specified, the
kernel uses the value of the net.inet.ip.ttl MIB variable.
*-n*
Numeric output only. No attempt will be made to lookup symbolic names
for host addresses.
*-o*
Exit successfully after receiving one reply packet.
*-p pattern*
You may specify up to 16 "pad" bytes to fill out the packet you
send. This is useful for diagnosing data-dependent problems in a
network. For example, "-p ff" will cause the sent packet to be
filled with all ones.
*-Q*
Somewhat quiet output. Don't display ICMP error messages that are in
response to our query messages. Originally, the -v flag was required
to display such errors, but -v displays all ICMP error messages. On a
busy machine, this output can be overbear- ing. Without the -Q flag,
ping prints out any ICMP error mes- sages caused by its own
ECHO_REQUEST messages.
*-q*
Quiet output. Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at
startup time and when finished.
*-R*
Record route. Includes the RECORD_ROUTE option in the ECHO_REQUEST
packet and displays the route buffer on returned packets. Note that
the IP header is only large enough for nine such routes; the
traceroute(8) command is usually better at determining the route
packets take to a particular destination. If more routes come back
than should, such as due to an illegal spoofed packet, ping will print
the route list and then truncate it at the correct spot. Many hosts
ignore or discard the RECORD_ROUTE option.
*-r*
Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an
attached network. If the host is not on a directly-attached network,
an error is returned. This option can be used to ping a local host
through an interface that has no route through it (e.g., after the
interface was dropped).
*-S src_addr*
Use the following IP address as the source address in outgoing
packets. On hosts with more than one IP address, this option can be
used to force the source address to be something other than the IP
address of the interface the probe packet is sent on. If the IP
address is not one of this machine's interface addresses, an error is
returned and nothing is sent.
*-s packetsize*
Specify the number of data bytes to be sent. The default is 56, which
translates into 64 ICMP data bytes when combined with the 8 bytes of
ICMP header data. Only the super-user may specify val- ues more than
default. This option cannot be used with ping sweeps.
*-T ttl*
Set the IP Time To Live for multicasted packets. This flag only
applies if the ping destination is a multicast address.
*-t timeout*
Specify a timeout, in seconds, before ping exits regardless of how
many packets have been received.
*-v*
Verbose output. ICMP packets other than ECHO_RESPONSE that are
received are listed.
*-W waittime*
Time in milliseconds to wait for a reply for each packet sent. If a
reply arrives later, the packet is not printed as replied, but
considered as replied when calculating statistics.
*-z tos*
Use the specified type of service.
**EXIT STATUS:**
The ping utility exits with one of the following values:
0 At least one response was heard from the specified host.
2 The transmission was successful but no responses were
received.
any other value an error occurred. These values are defined in
<sysexits.h>.
**NOTES:**
When using ping for fault isolation, it should first be run on the
local host, to verify that the local network interface is up and
running. Then, hosts and gateways further and further away should be
"pinged". Round-trip times and packet loss statistics are computed.
If duplicate packets are received, they are not included in the packet
loss calculation, although the round trip time of these packets is
used in calculating the round-trip time statistics. When the
specified number of packets have been sent a brief summary is
displayed, showing the number of packets sent and received, and the
minimum, mean, maximum, and standard deviation of the round-trip
times.
This program is intended for use in network testing, measurement and
management. Because of the load it can impose on the network, it is
unwise to use ping during normal operations or from automated scripts.

The following is an example of how to use ``oing`` to ping:
