Synopsis
ping
ping hostDescription
The ping command sends a sequence of ICMP echo request packets to the specified host. It is one of the simplest and most commonly used troubleshooting tools. If you omit the host from the command line and are in privileged EXEC mode, the router prompts you for the rest of the information.
Ping prints a special character for each packet indicating whether the router received the corresponding echo reply. Table 17-15 shows what these special characters mean. Ping also summarizes the success rate and the round-trip times.
