If you type the count option with the ping command, the resulting display
contains the ping statistics, which include the number of packets sent, the
number of packets received, and the percentage of packets lost. For example, if
you type this string, in which 64 is the size option variable and 5 is the count
option variable:
ping 128.45.87.10 64 5
this response is displayed:
PING 128.45.87.10: 64 data bytes
72 bytes from 128.45.87.10: icmp_seq=0.
72 bytes from 128.45.87.10: icmp_seq=1.
72 bytes from 128.45.87.10: icmp_seq=2.
72 bytes from 128.45.87.10: icmp_seq=3.
72 bytes from 128.45.87.10: icmp_seq=4.
——128.45.87.10 PING STATISTICS——
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
To stop the transmission of echo frames before the specified number of
responses has been achieved, press [Ctrl]+D. If you request a very large count
option and the command has not completed its run, the transmission of echo
frames will be aborted by a logout or a timeout.
route Command
The route command allows you to add and delete entries in the routing table for
the specific host indicated by the destination and gateway addresses. You can
also display the destination and gateway addresses.
To add a destination and gateway to the routing table, use this format:
route add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the destination IP address and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is
the gateway IP address.
