The above output shows that no available route exists between Device A and Device C; an available 
router exists between Device A and Device B; an error occurred on the connection between Device B 
and Device C. In this case, you can use the debugging ip icmp command to enable ICMP debugging 
on Device A and Device C to check whether the devices send or receive the specified ICMP packets, 
or you can use the display ip routing-table command to display whether a route exists between the 
two devices.
