ping -t not working
(OP)
On a Cisco ASA ping works but ping -t does not:
firewall# ping www.cisco.com
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to <IP>, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/8/10 ms
firewall# ping -t www.cisco.com
firewall# ping -t www.cisco.com
^
ERROR: % Invalid Hostname
What is going on?
firewall# ping www.cisco.com
Type escape sequence to abort.

Try the -t at the end instead of after the ping command.
firewall# ping www.cisco.com -t
Hope this helps.

I was able to use the ping repeat command for a long ping. I can only guess that ping -t is disabled somehow on the firewall?
