21.2.7 Ping Command
Command: >ping
Syntax: ping address [-l packet_size] [-w timeout]
Explanation: Ping operates by sending a packet to a designated address and waiting for a response. The
ping command is used to do a ping test. A ping test will verify whether or not a host
computer you are trying to reach at a particular IP address is actually operating. If a user
can't ping a host, then the user will be unable to use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to
send files to that host. A ping test can also be used to determine the host computer’s
response time. Note: To cancel the Ping command, press ESC on your keyboard.
Parameters: address IP address to ping
