pyhpecw7.features.ping module¶

Ping another device from HPCOM7 devices.

class pyhpecw7.features.ping.Ping(device, host, vrf='', v6=False, detail=False)[source]¶

Bases: object

Ping another device from an HPCOM7 device.

Parameters:	device (HPCOM7) – connected instance of a `pyhpecw7.comware.HPCOM7` object. host (str) – IP address or name to ping from the switch vrf (vrf) – source VRF on the switch the ping will come from v6 (bool) – set to true if dest is v6 target detail (bool) – set to true if you want to see per ping (ICMP echo request) response details

Note

If an IPv6 address is provided for host, there is no need to set v6 to True, but it doesn’t hurt either way.

If a name is used for host and that resolves to a v6 address, then v6 must be set to True.
