How to ping from CLI on Sophos XG 19

Question

I'm trying to send a ping to an external address using a specific interface; the documentation is not clear to me and every attempt tried throws me a "% Error: Unknown Parameter"

ping -a <sourceip> <destinationip> % Error: Unknown Parameter

Hi amaurib, 
 Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community. 
 You may try to use the "?" after the command to check what are the parameters that can be used. 
 The below parameter for ping can be seen below.

Thank you Erick, this worked for me ping sourceip 1.2.3.4 8.8.8.8 
 where 1.2.3.4 is any public IP configured on the FW.
