Usage Guidelines The ping (Packet Internet Groper) program sends an echo request packet to an address, and then awaits
a reply. The ping output can help you evaluate path-to-host reliability, delays over the path, and whether
the host can be reached or is functioning.
Verify connectivity to the TFTP server using the ping command.
To abnormally terminate a ping session, type the Ctrl-C escape sequence.
