6.8. [ping]
ping is the name of a computer network tool used on TCP/IP networks (such as the
Internet). It provides a basic test of whether a particular host is operating properly and
is reachable on the network from the testing host. It works by sending ICMP packets to
the target host and listening for replies
For example: if 192.168.1.2 is not existing while 192.168.123.100 exists. Users will
have the following results:
usr/config$ ping 192.168.1.2
PING 192.168.1.2: 56 data bytes
no answer from 192.168.1.2
usr/config$ ping 192.168.123.100
PING 192.168.123.100: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.123.100: icmp_seq=0. time=5. ms
64 bytes from 192.168.123.100: icmp_seq=1. time=0. ms
64 bytes from 192.168.123.100: icmp_seq=2. time=0. ms
64 bytes from 192.168.123.100: icmp_seq=3. time=0. ms
