Pinging IP in Ericsson BSC

OSS and NOC
1

Hi All,

I have a query related to pinging IP in BSC.

I am aware that we have command IHNPI:DEST=IP; So in this case what will be the source IP ?

Hi, @Sooraj, qoute from ELEX

If no interface nor source IP address is given, the interface is chosen by the IP stack.

I suspect there is some default interface.

Thank you so much. I was also tracerouting one IP from BSC using the command IHTRI:DEST=ip;

However I could see a message not supported by infrastructure. What could be the reason for it? Please let me know.

It is not supporting in BSC

This command is a diagnostic tool running on Signal Processor Unit (SPU) stack

Okay, so do we have any command to traceroute IP in BSC? For example, I wanted to traceroute on A interface with source as BSC and destination as MSC IP?

In general - answer is no (or I don’t know). We can make some traceroutes from NWI-E, but it may depends on your network architecture.

For NWI

show configuration
# select a source address from assigned to interfaces/vlans
ping <DEST> from <SOURCE>

Ping from RP

TERDI:RP=41;
/ifconfig
/ping ?
/ping -s -i eth0 10.10.10.11 10 5;
END;
