Response

The following are application examples of the ping command and their typical responses.

Example

The following command will ping the domain name www.yahoo.com.

-> ping www.yahoo.com

The command attempts a DNS (domain name server) lookup to find the address of the domain. If the DNS server address is not known, it returns the following message:

ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com

If the DNS lookup is successful, the ping sends five packets, one second apart, with a packet length of 56 bytes.

ping: reply from 216.32.74.52: bytes=56 (data), icmp_seq=1, time=86 ms

ping: reply from 216.32.74.52: bytes=56 (data), icmp_seq=2, time=81 ms

ping: reply from 216.32.74.52: bytes=56 (data), icmp_seq=3, time=82 ms

ping: reply from 216.32.74.52: bytes=56 (data), icmp_seq=4, time=84 ms

ping: reply from 216.32.74.52: bytes=56 (data), icmp_seq=5, time=82 ms

ping: packets sent 5, packets received 5

The following command requests 2 echo messages sent 7 seconds apart with a packet length of 34 bytes. The messages are sent to IP address 192.168.254.2.

-> ping -c 2 -i 7 -s 34 192.168.254.2

-ping: reply from 192.168.254.2: bytes=34 (data), time<5 ms

ping: reply from 192.168.254.2: bytes=34 (data), time<5 ms

-> ping -I 192.168.254.254 192.4.210.122
