Operation
=========
It is not sufficient to only configure a VRF but VRFs must be maintained, too.
For VR Fmaintenance the followin operational commands are in place.
.. opcmd:: show vrf

.. opcmd:: ping <host> vrf <name>
The ping command is used to test whether a network host is reachable or not.
Ping uses ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an
ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. ECHO_REQUEST datagrams (pings)
will have an IP and ICMP header, followed by "struct timeval" and an
arbitrary number of pad bytes used to fill out the packet.
When doing fault isolation with ping, your should first run it on the local
host, to verify that the local network interface is up and running. Then,
continue with hosts and gateways further down the road towards your
destination. Round-trip times and packet loss statistics are computed.
Duplicate packets are not included in the packet loss calculation, although
the round-trip time of these packets is used in calculating the minimum/
average/maximum round-trip time numbers.
Ping command can be interrupted at any given time using `<Ctrl>+c`- A brief
statistic is shown afterwards.
