l2 ping

Triggers a Layer 2 ping, which acts like a native ping. Enable Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) to debug Layer 2.

Command parameters

Parameter	Description
<1-4094>	Specifies the VLAN ID.
burst-count <1-200>	Specifies the burst count.
data-tlv-size <0-400>	Specifies the data Type-Length-Value (TLV) size. The default is 0.
frame-size <64-1500>	Specifies the frame size. The default is 0.
mac <H.H.H>	Specifies the MAC address.
priority <0-7>	Specifies the priority. The default is 7.
routernodename WORD	Specifies the router node name.
source-mode nodal	Specifies the source mode of nodal. Nodal MPs provide both MEP and MIP functionality for SPBM deployments. Nodal MPs are associated with a B-VLAN and are VLAN encapsulated packets. The default is nodal. This mode applies to both B-VLANs and C-VLANs.
source-mode smltVirtual	Specifies the source mode of smltVirtual. Virtual Services Platform 7000 Series supports SMLT interaction with SPBM. The platform uses two B-VIDs into the core from each pair of SMLT terminating nodes. Both nodes advertise the Nodal B-MAC into the core on both B-VIDS. In addition each node advertises the SMLT virtual B-MAC on one of the two B-VLANs. The default is nodal.
testfill-pattern allZero	Specifies the testfill pattern. The range is: allZero: null signal without cyclic redundancy check; allZeroCrc: null signal with cyclic redundancy check with 32-bit polynomial; pseudoRandomBitSequence: PRBS without cyclic redundancy check; or pseudoRandomBitSequenceCrc: PBRS with cyclic redundancy check with 32-bit polynomial. A cyclic redundancy check is a code that detects errors. The default is allZero.
testfill-pattern allZeroCrc	Specifies the testfill pattern. The range is: allZero: null signal without cyclic redundancy check; allZeroCrc: null signal with cyclic redundancy check with 32-bit polynomial; pseudoRandomBitSequence: PRBS without cyclic redundancy check; or pseudoRandomBitSequenceCrc: PBRS with cyclic redundancy check with 32-bit polynomial. A cyclic redundancy check is a code that detects errors. The default is allZero.
testfill-pattern pseudoRandomBitSequence	Specifies the testfill pattern. The range is: allZero: null signal without cyclic redundancy check; allZeroCrc: null signal with cyclic redundancy check with 32-bit polynomial; pseudoRandomBitSequence: PRBS without cyclic redundancy check; or pseudoRandomBitSequenceCrc: PBRS with cyclic redundancy check with 32-bit polynomial. A cyclic redundancy check is a code that detects errors. The default is allZero.
testfill-pattern pseudoRandomBitSequenceCrc	Specifies the testfill pattern. The range is: allZero: null signal without cyclic redundancy check; allZeroCrc: null signal with cyclic redundancy check with 32-bit polynomial; pseudoRandomBitSequence: PRBS without cyclic redundancy check; or pseudoRandomBitSequenceCrc: PBRS with cyclic redundancy check with 32-bit polynomial. A cyclic redundancy check is a code that detects errors. The default is allZero.
time-out <1-10>	Specifies the interval in seconds. The default is 3.
