Ping sweep / range of IPs in the same subnet

[Russ]

Hi, how can I ping a subnet or run a file (script) that has all the ip’s I need to ping. On some Cisco devices there is the extended ping where you can ping an entire subnet, or even run a script which would run each command sequentially but I can’t see a like option on a VDX6740T.

Russ,

I am not aware of any PING Sweep feature built directly into NOS, however the VDX platform is built on Linux and you can accomplish this via a simple script.

Login to your device as Root and use something like the following:

for i in $(seq 1 254); do ping -c1 192.168.11.$i; done  

This will ping every IP 1-254 in the subnet 192.168.11.0 one time.

I hope this helps accomplish your goal.

Thanks,
