IP Ping

The IP ping utility is used to check the reachability of an IP address.

IP ping in default instance

The ping command allows you to ping to a destination to see if a networked device is reachable.

Syntax
ping <destination-ip> [source-interface <interface>] count <count> interval <interval> size <size> source-ip <source-ip> ttl <ttl> tos <tos>
Command Parameters
destination-ip ipv4 destination address

interface

source interface

count

count of the ping packet (default 5)

do-not-fragment

set the do-not-fragment (DF) bit in IP header

interval

interval between the packets (default 1 sec)

size

size of the ping packet (default 60)

source-ip

IPv4 source address

ttl

Time-to-live to be used in the packet

tos

Type of Service (TOS) to be used in the packet

Example
