Description
Use the ping command to verify whether the destination device in an IP network is reachable, and to
display the related statistics.
Note that:
You must use the command in the form of ping ip ip instead of ping ip if the destination name is a
key word, such as ip.
Only the directly connected segment address can be pinged if the outgoing interface is specified
with the -i argument.
During the execution of the command, you can press Ctrl+C to abort the ping operation.
