Type ^c to abort.
Sending 5 56-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.128.160, timeout is 2 seconds.
...!!
Success rate is 40 percent (2/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
In the example above, the switch is made to ping the device at 10.1.128.160. The
command did not receive ICMP reply packets for the first three ICMP echo requests
within default 2 seconds timeout. The ping failed for the first three tries. However, the
last two ping succeeded. So the success rate is 40%. It is denoted on the switch “.” for
