Default Ping Size

L3 Networker

 

Is there a way to change the default ping size from 56 bytes? I know there is a switch to change the size but I'm interested in knowing if the default can be changed.

Yes you can,  the option is size

 

admin@PA6000(active)> ping size 1000 host 4.2.2.2
PING 4.2.2.2 (4.2.2.2) 1000(1028) bytes of data.
1008 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=0.996 ms
1008 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=58 time=0.989 ms

As I said in the original post, I know that the size can be changed on an individual ping operation. 

I want to know if there is a way to change the default size of the ping. For example, if you always want to use 1000, how do you accomplish without using the size keyword? 

Specifically this is to use in PBF policies where icmp is generated automatically with no way to edit the size.
