Functional Notes
The ping command helps diagnose basic IP network connectivity using the Packet InterNet Groper (PING)
program to repeatedly bounce Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo_Request packets off a
system (using a specified IP address). The SROS allows executing a standard PING request to a specified
IP address or provides a set of prompts to configure a more specific PING configuration.
The following is a list of output messages from the ping command:
