Folks,

I am trying to initiate a ping from my FMC Cli but I do not see Ping command available in CLISH mode..

All I see

Configure

Exit

Show

System

When type system.

Sytem>

It will give other options but No Ping,

configure

exit

expert

generate-troubleshoot

lockdown

I am puzzled just to initiate a simple ping process.. ? expert mode takes me shell where it says

ping icmp open socket: operation not permitted.

Can anyone help ?

You can use "sudo" in front of the command (i.e., sudo ping ......), when running from expert mode, to elevate the permissions when runnning the command.

Or just switch to full-on root / superuser mode with "sudo su -". 🙂
