PING
An echo message, available within the TCP/IP protocol suite, sent to a remote node and returned; it is used to test
connectivity to the remote node and is particularly useful for locating connection problems on a network.
By default, the router will try to “ping” the remote device for five consecutive times and will issue status
messages.
-c count Number of packets; count is a value between 1 and 10.
-i wait Wait period in seconds between packets; wait is a value between 1 and 10.
-s size Packet data length “size” bytes; size is a value between 0 and 972.
-l size Same as -s size
ipaddr
IP address in the format of 4 decimals separated by periods.
Example:
ping -c 8 -i 7 -s 34 192.168.254.2
Response:
ping: reply from 192.168.254.2: bytes=34 (data), time<5 ms
ping: reply from 192.168.254.2: bytes=34 (data), time<5 ms
ping: reply from 192.168.254.2: bytes=34 (data), time<5 ms
ping: reply from 192.168.254.2: bytes=34 (data), time<5 ms
ping: reply from 192.168.254.2: bytes=34 (data), time<5 ms
ping: reply from 192.168.254.2: bytes=34 (data), time<5 ms
ping: reply from 192.168.254.2: bytes=34 (data), time<5 ms
ping: reply from 192.168.254.2: bytes=34 (data), time<5 ms
ping: packets sent 8, packets received 8
