Ping an IP Address (Network Interfaces)
Use ping to check that the connection between your computer and a particular IP address (domain)
is working correctly.
1. To ping an IP address or hostname, click Operation, Network Interfaces, then Ping.
Figure 266 Pinging a Target
2. Enter the IP address or hostname of the target you wish to check in the Ping Target field.
3. Optionally, select:
OPTION DESCRIPTION
Verbose Verbose output, which lists other received ICMP packets in
addition to ECHO_RESPONSE packets.
No DNS Resolution Does not resolve addresses to host names.
Record Route Records route. Sets the IP record route option, which will
store the route of the packet inside the IP header.
Use Broadcast Address Allows pinging a broadcast message.
Adaptive Timing Adaptive ping. Interpacket interval adapts to round-trip
time, so that effectively not more than one unanswered
probes present in the network. Minimal interval is 200 msec.
4. Optionally, type values for how many seconds the ping command will execute, how many
ping requests are sent, and the size for the ping packets (default is 56, which translates into 64
ICMP data bytes when combined with 8 bytes of ICMP header data). If left blank, defaults
will be used.
5. Click Ping in the bottom right-hand corner of the window. If the results show a series of
replies, the connection is working. The time shows you how fast the connection is. If you see
a "timed out" error instead of a reply, there is a breakdown somewhere between your
computer and the domain. In this case, the next step is to perform a traceroute – see the next
section.
6. Press CTRL+C to terminate the ping session.
Note: Pressing CTRL+Q displays a statistics summary for the session so far and continues to
ping the destination.
