Ping Test

It is possible to test a network connection by using the ping command. The ping command will send a network packet to the specified IP address and wait for a reply.

To initiate a ping test, type

ping <ip address>

If you have a network connection, a normal output would look like the following:

sh-2.04# ping 10.0.0.43
