Description

show line

Displays information about the console port configuration.

ping

To determine the network connectivity to another network device, use the ping command.

ping { dest-address | hostname } [ count { number | unlimited }] [ df-bit ] [ interval seconds ] [ packet-size bytes ] [ source src-address ] [ timeout seconds ] [ vrf { vrf-name | default | management }]
