Ping host


Ping an IP address. Use Control-C to stop the ping command. The repeat argument specifies how many ping packets to transmit. The size argument specifies the size of the ping packet. The dfbit argument specifies whether to set the "don't fragment" bit in the ping packet. If enabled, the packet will not be fragmented.

Create an in-band VLAN network interface


Create an in-band VLAN network interface from the physical interface identified by the mac. If the physical interface is not already owned by the edge dataplane, the dataplane service will be restarted in order to claim the physical interface. The new inband vlan network interface name will be of format ethX.vlan and the interface's plane property will be set to mgmt. Users must use the newly created in-band VLAN network interface for configuration.

The maxttl specifies the maximum time-to-live, or maximum number of routers the traceroute packet will traverse.

The vrfid argument specifies which VRF to send the traceroute packets from. You can get a list of available VRFs with the get logical-routers command.

The source argument specifies which source IP address to use for traceroute. This may be required in some circumstances for traceroute to work as expected. For example, if there is overlap in IP addresses used in the tier 0 and tier 1 router transit subnets, traceroute packets from the tier 0 VRF will not reach virtual machines on networks routed by the tier 1 router. If you use the source argument to specify a unique IP used by that VRF (in this case, the tier 0 uplink IP) the traceroute packets will reach the virtual machines.
