If you are having connectivity
problems, you can use the ping command to check the destination IP
address you want to reach and record the results. The ping command
displays whether the destination responded and how long it took to receive a
reply. If there is an error in the delivery to the destination, the ping
command displays an error message.
You can use the ping command
to:
- Ping your computer (by address, not host name) to determine that TCP/IP is functioning. (Pinging your computer does not verify that your network adapter is functioning.)
- Ping the local router to determine whether the router is running.
- Ping beyond your local router.
Option Use
-n Count Determines the number of echo requests to send. The default
is 4 requests.
-w Timeout Enables you to adjust the time-out (in
milliseconds).
The default is 1,000 (a
1-second time-out).
-l Size Enables you to adjust the size of
the ping packet. The default size is 32 bytes.
-f Sets the Do Not Fragment bit on the
ping packet.
By default, the ping
packet allows fragmentation.
The following example illustrates
how to send two pings, each 1,450 bytes in size, to IP address 192.168.1.1:
C:\>ping -n 2 -l 1450 192.168.1.1
Pinging 192.168.1.1with 1450 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=1450 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=1450 time<10ms TTL=32
Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:
Packets: Sent = 2,
Received = 2, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate roundtrip times in milliseconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum
= 10ms, Average = 2ms
By default, ping waits
4,000 milliseconds (4 seconds) for each response to be returned
before displaying the "Request Timed Out" message. If the remote
system being pinged is across a high-delay link, such as a satellite link,
responses may take longer to be returned. You can use the -w (wait)
option to specify a longer time-out.
To check connectivity by using the ping
command, at the command prompt, type ping and the IP address you want to
reach.
A response of "Destination net
unreachable" means there was no route to the destination. You need to
check the routing table on the router listed in the "Reply from"
address in the "Destination net unreachable" message.
A response of "Request timed
out" means that there was no response to the ping in the default time
period (1 second). You can check for the following:
A router
is down.
To check the routers in the path between the source and the destination, use the tracert command.
To check the routers in the path between the source and the destination, use the tracert command.
The
destination host is down.
Physically verify that the host is running or check connectivity through another protocol.
Physically verify that the host is running or check connectivity through another protocol.
There is
no route back to your computer.
If the host is running, you can check for a return route by viewing the default gateway and local routing table on the destination host.
If the host is running, you can check for a return route by viewing the default gateway and local routing table on the destination host.
The
latency of the response is more than one second.
Use the -w option on the ping command to increase the time-out. For example, to allow responses within 5 seconds, use ping -w 5000.
