Check the Operational State of a Node on
the LAN/WAN
Entering the ping
command
With the ping command, you can test whether a node on the LAN/WAN is
operational. The ping command sends an Internet control message protocol
(ICMP) echo packet to the target node; if the node is powered on and correctly
connected to the network, it returns an ICMP response packet.
At the Main Menu prompt, enter the ping command, followed by either the host
name or the IP address of the node to be pinged, and the number of times to ping.
If you do not specify a number of repetitions, the default is one.
For example:
> ping 111.222.33.1 2
In this example, the node whose IP address is 111.222.33.1 is sent two ICMP
echo packets.
If the node or the network connection to the node is operational, you should see
the response within a few seconds. If the node or network is not operational, the
ping attempt times out after 10 seconds. To stop a ping before the 10-second
interval elapses, simply press any key.
The response to the above example might look like this:
PING 111.222.33.1: 64 data bytes
64 bytes from 111.222.33.1: icmp_seq=0. time=0. ms
64 bytes from 111.222.33.1: icmp_seq=1. time=0. ms
----111.222.33.1 PING Statistics----
2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 0/0/0
