[SOLVED] Ping from interface with command line

[vupibi]

Hello,

I need to ping a server through different interfaces on an OPNsense system. I could do that with the web interface but I need it in command line.

"ifconfig" gives me the names of my interfaces, in my case it is from xn0 to xn13.

Usually i would use a command like

Code Select Expand

ping -I xn2 google.de

but I always receive

Code Select Expand

ping: invalid multicast interface: `xn2'

for every interface. What am I doing wrong?

In FreeBSD ping(1) only supports "-S SRCIP". When you specify the source IP for the interface you want, you will ping from this particular interface owning the SRCIP.

Oh, this works very well, thank you!
