Ping
The Device supports IP ping, which you can use to test connectivity to remote hosts. Ping sends an echo
request packet to an address and waits for a reply. Ping returns one of these responses:
• Normal response—The normal response (hostname is alive) occurs in 1 to 10 seconds, depending on
• Destination does not respond—If the host does not respond, a no-answer message is returned.
• Unknown host—If the host does not exist, an unknown host message is returned.
• Destination unreachable—If the default gateway cannot reach the specified network, a
• Network or host unreachable—If there is no entry in the route table for the host or network, a network

Layer 2 Traceroute
The Layer 2 traceroute feature allows the switch to identify the physical path that a packet takes from a source
device to a destination device. Layer 2 traceroute supports only unicast source and destination MAC addresses.
Traceroute finds the path by using the MAC address tables of the Device in the path. When the Device detects
a device in the path that does not support Layer 2 traceroute, the Device continues to send Layer 2 trace queries
and lets them time out.
The Device can only identify the path from the source device to the destination device. It cannot identify the
path that a packet takes from source host to the source device or from the destination device to the destination
host.
Layer 2 Traceroute Guidelines
• Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) must be enabled on all the devices in the network. For Layer 2 traceroute
• A device is reachable from another device when you can test connectivity by using the ping privileged
• The maximum number of hops identified in the path is ten.

If any devices in the physical path are transparent to CDP, the switch cannot identify the path through
