When there is any problem in the system, you must find what the problem is and its
solution. Therefore, you should not only be aware of a status of the system but also verify
if the system is correctly configured.
6.3.1 Network Connection
To verify if your system is correctly connected to the network, use the ping command. For
IP network, this command transmits a message to Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP). ICMP is an internet protocol that notifies fault situation and provides information
on the location where IP packet is received. When the ICMP echo message is received at
the location, its replying message is returned to the place where it came from. To perform
a ping test to verify network status, use the following command.
