Ping is used to determine if there is IP layer connectivity between the 7705 SAR and another node in the network.
The 7705 SAR supports redirection of SGT to egress data queues instead of the default control queue. To redirect ping to a data queue, the ping command includes the fc-queue option, which specifies the queue to be used for servicing the ping packets in the egress direction. All other SGT applications are redirected using the config>router>sgt-qos>application>fc-queue or config>service>vprn>sgt-qos>application>fc-queue command. For more information about SGT redirection, see the 7705 SAR Quality of Service Guide, "SGT Redirection".
