Howdy,

You sure can. You have one of two options when doing so:

- use the standard ping command with a timeout of 0 and a large repeat count:

e.g ping 10.1.1.1 timeout 0 repeat 10000000

- use the extended ping with a timeout of 0 and a large repeat:

e.g

router#ping

Protocol [ip]:

Target IP address: 10.1.1.1

Repeat count [5]: 100000000

Datagram size [100]:

Timeout in seconds [2]: 0

Extended commands [n]:

Sweep range of sizes [n]:

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 100000000, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.1, timeout is 0 seconds:

........

Hope that helps - pls rate posts that help.

You can surely use those two options, but I will not recommend that you set the timeout to 0 seconds. By setting the timeout to 0 seconds, you will most likely have a success rate of 0%. Increasing the repeat should be sufficient.
