Network Commands
****************

Introduction
============

The RTEMS shell has the following network commands:

- netstats_ - obtain network statistics

- ifconfig_ - configure a network interface

- route_ - show or manipulate the IP routing table

- ping_ - ping a host or IP address

Commands
========

This section details the Network Commands available.  A subsection is dedicated
to each of the commands and describes the behavior and configuration of that
command as well as providing an example usage.

netstats - obtain network statistics
------------------------------------
.. index:: netstats

SYNOPSYS:
    .. code-block:: shell

        netstats [-Aimfpcut]

DESCRIPTION:
    This command is used to display various types of network statistics.  The
    information displayed can be specified using command line arguments in
    various combinations.  The arguments are interpreted as follows:

    *-A*
        print All statistics

    *-i*
        print Inet Routes

    *-m*
        print MBUF Statistics

    *-f*
        print IF Statistics

    *-p*
        print IP Statistics

    *-c*
        print ICMP Statistics

    *-u*
        print UDP Statistics

    *-t*
        print TCP Statistics

EXIT STATUS:
    This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered.

NOTES:
    NONE

EXAMPLES:
    The following is an example of using the ``netstats`` command to print the
    IP routing table:

    .. code-block:: shell

        [/] $ netstats -i
        Destination     Gateway/Mask/Hw    Flags     Refs     Use Expire Interface

.. _route:

route - show or manipulate the ip routing table
-----------------------------------------------
.. index:: route

SYNOPSYS:
    .. code-block:: shell

        route [subcommand] [args]

DESCRIPTION:
    This command is used to display and manipulate the routing table.  When
    invoked with no arguments, the current routing information is displayed.
    When invoked with the subcommands ``add`` or ``del``, then additional
    arguments must be provided to describe the route.

    Command templates include the following:

    .. code-block:: shell

        route [add|del] -net IP_ADDRESS gw GATEWAY_ADDRESS [netmask MASK]
        route [add|del] -host IP_ADDRESS gw GATEWAY_ADDRES [netmask MASK]

    When not provided the netmask defaults to ``255.255.255.0``

EXIT STATUS:
    This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered.

NOTES:
    Just like its counterpart on GNU/Linux and BSD systems, this command is
    complicated.  More example usages would be a welcome submission.

EXAMPLES:
    The following is an example of how to use ``route`` to display, add, and
    delete a new route:

.. _ping:

ping - ping a host or IP address
--------------------------------
.. index:: ping

SYNOPSYS:
    .. code-block:: shell

        ping [-AaDdfnoQqRrv] [-c count] [-G sweepmaxsize] [-g sweepminsize]
        [-h sweepincrsize] [-i wait] [-l preload] [-M mask | time] [-m ttl]
        [-p pattern] [-S src_addr] [-s packetsize] [-t timeout]

        [-s packetsize] [-T ttl] [-t timeout] [-W waittime]
        [-z tos] mcast-group

DESCRIPTION:
    The ping utility uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram
    to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway.  ECHO_REQUEST
    datagrams ("pings") have an IP and ICMP header, followed by a "struct
    timeval" and then an arbitrary number of "pad" bytes used to fill out the
    packet.  The options are as follows:

    *-A*
        Audible.  Output a bell (ASCII 0x07) character when no packet is
        received before the next packet is transmitted.  To cater for
        round-trip times that are longer than the interval between
        transmissions, further missing packets cause a bell only if the maximum
        number of unreceived packets has increased.

    *-a*
        Audible.  Include a bell (ASCII 0x07) character in the output when any
        packet is received.  This option is ignored if other format options are
        present.

    *-c count*
        Stop after sending (and receiving) count ECHO_RESPONSE packets.  If
        this option is not specified, ping will operate until interrupted.  If
        this option is specified in conjunction with ping sweeps, each sweep
        will consist of count packets.

    *-D*
        Set the Don't Fragment bit.

    *-d*
        Set the SO_DEBUG option on the socket being used.

    *-f*
        Flood ping. Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one hundred
        times per second, whichever is more.  For every ECHO_REQUEST sent a
        period "." is printed, while for every ECHO_REPLY received a backspace
        is printed.  This provides a rapid display of how many packets are
        being dropped.  Only the super-user may use this option.  This can be
        very hard on a network and should be used with caution.

    *-G sweepmaxsize*
        Specify the maximum size of ICMP payload when sending sweeping pings.
        This option is required for ping sweeps.

    *-g sweepminsize*
        Specify the size of ICMP payload to start with when sending sweeping
        pings.  The default value is 0.

    *-h sweepincrsize*
        Specify the number of bytes to increment the size of ICMP payload after
        each sweep when sending sweeping pings.  The default value is 1.

    *-I iface*
        Source multicast packets with the given interface address.  This flag
        only applies if the ping destination is a multicast address.

    *-i wait*
        Wait wait seconds between sending each packet.  The default is to wait
        for one second between each packet.  The wait time may be fractional,
        but only the super-user may specify values less than 1 second.  This
        option is incompatible with the -f option.

    *-L*
        Suppress loopback of multicast packets.  This flag only applies if the
        ping destination is a multicast address.

    *-l preload*
        If preload is specified, ping sends that many packets as fast as
        possible before falling into its normal mode of behavior.  Only the
        super-user may use this option.

    *-M mask | time*
        Use ICMP_MASKREQ or ICMP_TSTAMP instead of ICMP_ECHO.  For mask, print
        the netmask of the remote machine.  Set the net.inet.icmp.maskrepl MIB
        variable to enable ICMP_MASKREPLY.  For time, print the origination,
        reception and transmission timestamps.

    *-m ttl*
        Set the IP Time To Live for outgoing packets.  If not specified, the
        kernel uses the value of the net.inet.ip.ttl MIB variable.

    *-n*
        Numeric output only.  No attempt will be made to lookup symbolic names
        for host addresses.

    *-o*
        Exit successfully after receiving one reply packet.

    *-p pattern*
        You may specify up to 16 "pad" bytes to fill out the packet you send.
        This is useful for diagnosing data-dependent problems in a network.
        For example, "-p ff" will cause the sent packet to be filled with all
        ones.

    *-Q*
        Somewhat quiet output.  Don't display ICMP error messages that are in
        response to our query messages.  Originally, the -v flag was required
        to display such errors, but -v displays all ICMP error messages.  On a
        busy machine, this output can be overbear- ing.  Without the -Q flag,
        ping prints out any ICMP error mes- sages caused by its own
        ECHO_REQUEST messages.

    *-q*
        Quiet output.  Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at startup
        time and when finished.

    *-R*
        Record route.  Includes the RECORD_ROUTE option in the ECHO_REQUEST
        packet and displays the route buffer on returned packets.  Note that
        the IP header is only large enough for nine such routes; the
        traceroute(8) command is usually better at determining the route
        packets take to a particular destination.  If more routes come back
        than should, such as due to an illegal spoofed packet, ping will print
        the route list and then truncate it at the correct spot.  Many hosts
        ignore or discard the RECORD_ROUTE option.

    *-r*
        Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an
        attached network.  If the host is not on a directly-attached network,
        an error is returned.  This option can be used to ping a local host
        through an interface that has no route through it (e.g., after the
        interface was dropped).

    *-S src_addr*
        Use the following IP address as the source address in outgoing packets.
        On hosts with more than one IP address, this option can be used to
        force the source address to be something other than the IP address of
        the interface the probe packet is sent on.  If the IP address is not
        one of this machine's interface addresses, an error is returned and
        nothing is sent.

    *-s packetsize*
        Specify the number of data bytes to be sent.  The default is 56, which
        translates into 64 ICMP data bytes when combined with the 8 bytes of
        ICMP header data.  Only the super-user may specify val- ues more than
        default.  This option cannot be used with ping sweeps.

    *-T ttl*
        Set the IP Time To Live for multicasted packets.  This flag only
        applies if the ping destination is a multicast address.

    *-t timeout*
        Specify a timeout, in seconds, before ping exits regardless of how many
        packets have been received.

    *-v*
        Verbose output.  ICMP packets other than ECHO_RESPONSE that are
        received are listed.

    *-W waittime*
        Time in milliseconds to wait for a reply for each packet sent.  If a
        reply arrives later, the packet is not printed as replied, but
        considered as replied when calculating statistics.

    *-z tos*
        Use the specified type of service.

EXIT STATUS:
    The ping utility exits with one of the following values:

    0    At least one response was heard from the specified host.

    2    The transmission was successful but no responses were
         received.

    any other value an error occurred.  These values are defined in
    <sysexits.h>.

NOTES:
    When using ping for fault isolation, it should first be run on the local
    host, to verify that the local network interface is up and running.  Then,
    hosts and gateways further and further away should be "pinged".  Round-trip
    times and packet loss statistics are computed.  If duplicate packets are
    received, they are not included in the packet loss calculation, although
    the round trip time of these packets is used in calculating the round-trip
    time statistics.  When the specified number of packets have been sent a
    brief summary is displayed, showing the number of packets sent and
    received, and the minimum, mean, maximum, and standard deviation of the
    round-trip times.

    This program is intended for use in network testing, measurement and
    management.  Because of the load it can impose on the network, it is unwise
    to use ping during normal operations or from automated scripts.

    This command can fail if more than the FD_SET size number of file
    descriptors are open.

EXAMPLES:
    The following is an example of how to use ``oing`` to ping:

    .. code-block:: shell

        [/] # ping 10.10.10.1
        PING 10.10.10.1 (10.10.10.1): 56 data bytes
        64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=0.356 ms
        64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.229 ms
        64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=0.233 ms
        64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=63 time=0.235 ms
        64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=63 time=0.229 ms
        --- 10.10.10.1 ping statistics ---
        5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
        round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.229/0.256/0.356/0.050 ms
        [/] # ping -f -c 10000  10.10.10.1
        PING 10.10.10.1 (10.10.10.1): 56 data bytes
        .

.. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_PING
.. index:: CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_PING

CONFIGURATION:
    This command is included in the default shell command set.  When building a
    custom command set, define ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_PING`` to have this
    command included.

    This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining
    ``CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_PING`` when all shell commands have been
    configured.

.. index:: rtems_shell_rtems_main_ping

PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:
    The ``ping`` is implemented by a C language function which has the following
    prototype:

    .. code-block:: c

        int rtems_shell_rtems_main_ping(
            int    argc,
            char **argv
        );

    The configuration structure for the ``ping`` has the following prototype:

    .. code-block:: c

        extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_PING_Command;
