Need Help for Ping command?

[imran_mcse]

I have a basic question ,In windows machine we use ping -t IP address command for continous ping until we stop with Ctrl+C, so is there any method in cisco routers to use the Ping command for infinity until we stop manuallay.

Every you may want to know about the ping commands is available here http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1831/products_command_reference_chapter09186a00800d9840.html#1018913, and here http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1831/products_command_reference_chapter09186a00800d9840.html#1019084

Cheers,

If you just enter the word "ping" at the enabled ("#") CLI, you get the "extended ping" options.

You can choose the protocol, packet size, change the size over a range of pings, and many other options.

Give it a shot.

Good Luck

The previous two answers have not directly addresses your question. You want a way on Cisco to do a ping that will run to infinity - until you tell it to stop. Unfortunately this capability does not exist on Cisco. If you do extended ping, and specify a large number of pings, and specify a large packet size, and specify sweep range of sizes, you can come pretty close because it will run for a VERY long time (days) but it will not run to infinity.
