ping
The ping command sends an Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP
ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. ECHO_REQUEST
datagrams (pings) have an IP and ICMP header, followed by a
structured time value and an arbitrary number of pad bytes that fill
out the packet. The syntax for this command is:
ping host_ip_address [data_size] [npackets]
❑ The host_ip_address entry is the Internet address of the host
or gateway from which you wish to elicit a response.
❑ The optional data_size entry is the number of bytes sent in a
datagram packet. The default value is 64 and the maximum
value is 1024.
❑ The optional npackets entry is the number of packets to
transmit. If you specify npackets, then you must also specify
a data_size.
The ping command display looks something like this:
If you enter the ping command without specifying an IP address, the
display looks like this:
To exit out of ping either wait for npackets to be transmitted or, at any
point, type q. The ping statistics display upon exit.
monitor:: ping 132.245.33.69
