That's a good old IOS trick. When I did my CCIE, way back in 2004, there was a lot of talk about TCL ping scripting but I just did it all by hand. I figured, why should I add use a script when that would give me one more thing to troubleshoot if a ping didn't work? Maybe the script was broken. It didn't take that long to do it by hand. But anyway, we now have Python as an option as well in IOS-XE 16.5 so you don't need to mess with TCL any more.:)
