Using ping, tracert, and system debugging

Use the ping, tracert, and system debugging utilities to test network connectivity and identify network
problems.

Ping

The ping utility sends ICMP echo requests (ECHO-REQUEST) to the destination device. Upon receiving
the requests, the destination device responds with ICMP echo replies (ECHO-REPLY) to the source device.
The source device outputs statistics about the ping operation, including the number of packets sent,
number of echo replies received, and the round-trip time. You can measure the network performance by
analyzing these statistics.

Using a ping command to test network connectivity

Task
Check whether a specified
address in an IP network is
reachable.
IMPORTANT:
When you configure the ping command for a low-speed network, HP recommends that you set a larger
value for the timeout timer (indicated by the -t keyword in the command).

Ping example

Network requirements
