Ping

Note: This tool can be used in both Interactive Mode and Batch Mode. For details on scheduling this tool to run in batch mode see Using Batch Mode.

Use the Ping utility to verify IP-level connectivity. When troubleshooting, you can use Ping to send an ICMP echo request to a target host name or IP address. Use Ping whenever you need to verify that a host computer can connect to the TCP/IP network and network resources. You can also use Ping to isolate network hardware problems and incompatible configurations.

To Access Ping from the Dashboard

To run Ping from the Support Tools Dashboard:

Step 1 In the Arguments field, enter desired arguments, as described in the Using section below.

Step 2 Specify the command duration time or accept the default (60 seconds). This is the amount of time the command will attempt to run before terminating.

Step 3 If desired, check Elevate Command Priority. This ensures the command will run regardless of the level of server activity.

Step 4 Click the Run button.
