To enable sending ICMP Echo Reply messages, use the command ip echo-reply in Global Configuration Mode. The no form of this command disables sending ICMP Echo Reply messages. The “ip echo reply” is a message sent by a device in response to a request sent by another device. This message is used to check if a device is able to communicate (send and receive data) with the destination device.
Global Configuration Mode
iS5comm(config)# ip echo-reply
