RMCPING(8)						      System Manager Commands							RMCPING(8)

NAME

       rmcpping - send RMCP Ping to network hosts

SYNOPSIS

       rmcpping [OPTION...] destination

DESCRIPTION

       rmcpping  uses  the  RMCP  Ping request datagram to elicit an RMCP Pong response from a remote host. The utility can be used to verify if a
       remote host supports RMCP or IPMI. The initial starting sequence number will be randomized.  rmcpping will return 0 to the  environment	if
       it receives atleast 1 response from the remote host. Otherwise, it exits with a value of 1.

OPTIONS

       The following options are available

       -h     Output help menu.

       -V     Output version.

       -c count
	      Stop after sending count packets.

       -i interval
	      Wait interval seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait for one second between each packet.

       -I interface address
	      Set source address to specified interface address. Argument may be numeric IP address or name of device.

       -t timeout
	      Time to wait for a response, in seconds. Default is five seconds.

       -v     Verbose output.

       -s num Specify an initial starting sequence number. The default is to use a random initial sequence number.

       -d     Turn on debugging.

KNOWN ISSUES

       It has been observed that some remote BMCs can get "confused" and delay packet responses if duplicate packets (with duplicate sequence num-
       bers) are sent in succession very quickly. There is no known way to cleanly deal with a "confused" BMC other than the wait awhile.

       Unlike ping(8), local network devicess (e.g. 127.0.0.1) cannot be "pinged".
