Response
The following are application examples of the ping command and their typical
responses.
Example
The following command will ping the domain name www.yahoo.com.
-> ping www.yahoo.com
The command attempts a DNS (domain name server) lookup to find the address of
the domain. If the DNS server address is not known, it returns the following message:
ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com
If the DNS lookup is successful, the ping sends five packets, one second apart, with a
packet length of 56 bytes.
ping: reply from 216.32.74.52: bytes=56 (data), icmp_seq=1, time=86 ms
ping: reply from 216.32.74.52: bytes=56 (data), icmp_seq=2, time=81 ms
ping: reply from 216.32.74.52: bytes=56 (data), icmp_seq=3, time=82 ms
ping: reply from 216.32.74.52: bytes=56 (data), icmp_seq=4, time=84 ms
ping: reply from 216.32.74.52: bytes=56 (data), icmp_seq=5, time=82 ms
ping: packets sent 5, packets received 5
Example
The following command requests 2 echo messages sent 7 seconds apart with a
packet length of 34 bytes. The messages are sent to IP address 192.168.254.2.
-> ping -c 2 -i 7 -s 34 192.168.254.2
-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 2, packets received 2
Example
The following command sends packets with the source IP address 192.168.254.254
to the IP address 192.4.210.122. Default values are used for the other options.
-> ping -I 192.168.254.254 192.4.210.122
Example
The following command uses management address 192.168.1.2 as the source
address when pinging destination address 192.168.100.100.
-> ping -I 192.168.1.2 192.168.100.100
