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:
monitor:: ping 132.245.33.69
PING 132.245.33.69: 64 data bytes
If you enter the ping command without specifying an IP address, the
display looks like this:
monitor:: ping
IP address required, ie: ping 132.245.33.69\
[data bytes] [npackets]
When you enter the ping command, the following prompt is
displayed:
Enter Segment to be used [1]:
To exit out of ping either wait for npackets to be transmitted or, at any
point, type q. The ping statistics display upon exit.
