FUNCTION: Verify operability of the Fast Ethernet interface
SYNTAX:
ping <ip_addr> [-c <count>] [-s <size>]
… [-w <wait>]
where:
ping command
<ip-addr> parameter: value: numerical string
IP address of target: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
-c option: count
<count> parameter: value: numeric: “[n ... ]n”
number of packets to send
-s option: size
<size> parameter: value: numeric: “[n ... ]n”: bytes
size of packet to send
-w option: wait
<wait> parameter: value: numeric: “[n ... ]n”: seconds
wait time between packets
DESCRIPTION: To verify the operational status of the Fast Ethernet interface the com-
mand “ping” is used. This command tests the network connection and
target server’s ability to respond.
If no other parameters are specified, four requests will be sent. This
can be changed with the parameter “-c”. The typical size of a ping
packet can be changed with the parameter “-s” and the time between
requests, which is typically one second, can be changed with the pa-
rameter “-w”.
Reponses to the “ping” command are dependent on the performance
of the network.
USAGE: Send four packets
COMMAND / RESPONSE:
ping 192.192.158.7
Send ten packets, 100 bytes long, and wait two seconds between
packets
COMMAND / RESPONSE:
ping 192.192.158.7 -c 10 -s 100 -w 2
