Ping
Fig. 7.13: Menu Ping
Ping (Packet InterNet Groper) is a utility used to test the reachability of a particular host on an IP network.
It operates by sending echo request packets to the target host and waiting for an echo response. In
the process it measures the rtt (round trip time - the time from transmission to reception) and records
any packet loss.
The source IP address of Ping in RipEX is always the IP address of Radio interface.
While using Ping, be sure that correct routing between source and destination IP addresses exists.
Also pinged device has to have ICMP echo response enabled. RipEX has the ICMP echo response
always enabled.
Important
Ping utility generates on-line report each 2 seconds while you are connected to Local unit
and each 10 sec. while it is generated from Remote unit and it is transffered over Radio
channel.
