3.3.1 PING (IPv4)
Ping is a program that sends a series of packets over a network or the Internet to a specific computer in order to
generate a response from that computer. The other computer responds with an acknowledgment that it received the
packets. Ping was created to verify whether a specific computer on a network or the Internet exists and is connected.
Ping uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets. The PING Request is the packet from the origin
computer, and the PING Reply is the packet response from the target.
This page allows you to issue ICMP (IPv4) PING packets to troubleshoot IP connectivity issues.
You can configure the following parameters for the test:
Hostname or IP Address
The address of the destination host, either as a symbolic hostname or an IP Address.
Payload Size
Determines the size of the ICMP data payload in bytes (excluding the size of Ethernet, IP and ICMP headers).
The default value is 56 bytes. The valid range is 2-1452 bytes.
Payload Data Pattern
Determines the pattern used in the ICMP data payload. The default value is 0. The valid range is 0-255.
Packet Count
Determines the number of PING requests sent. The default value is 5. The valid range is 1-60.
