ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Is it possible to set a continuous ping running on a CE switch?
I don't see an option below..
<SWITCH-1> ping ?
-a Select a source IP address
-c Specify the number of echo requests to be sent. The default is
5
-d Specify the SO_DEBUG option on the socket being used
-f Set the Don't Fragment flag in packet (IPv4-only)
-h Specify TTL value for echo requests to be sent. The default is
255
-i Select the interface sending packets
-m Time in milliseconds to wait for sending next packet. The
default is 500 ms
-p No more than 8 "pad" hexadecimal characters to fill out the
sent packet. For example, -p f2 will fill the sent packet with
f and 2 repeatedly
-q Quiet output. Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at
startup time and when finished
-r Record route. Includes the RECORD_ROUTE option in the
ECHO_REQUEST packet and displays the route
-s Specify the number of data bytes to be sent. The default is 56
bytes
-system-time Display the sending time of echo request packets
-t Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply. The default is
2000 ms
-tos Specify TOS value for echo requests to be sent
-v Verbose output. ICMP packets other than ECHO_RESPONSE those are
received are listed
-vpn-instance Specify VPN-Instance of MPLS VPN
STRING<1-255> IP address or hostname of a remote system

Thanks in advance for explaining whether it is possible to set a continuous ping running on a CE switch.
