l2ping works on bluetooth devices on Linux. Might work for other stuff as well. Not sure what Cisco offers in this regard.

The ideal solution would be OAM. Of course not everything supports that and it's not on by default either. Of all the things to turn off by default, this is one thing that I'd like to see on.
