Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can run this command to check the connectivity between an AP and network device by pinging a network device from an AP.
The prerequisite is that the AP is online and has been configured with an IP address.

Precautions

This command may cost much time because the parameters such as waiting time affects the command running.
Only one AP can perform the ping operation at a time.
