Ping an IP Address
Use ping to check that the connection between CC-SG computer and a
particular IP address is working correctly.
Note: Some sites explicitly block ping requests. Verify that the target and
intervening network allow pings if a ping is unsuccessful.
1. Choose Operation > Network Interfaces > Ping.
2. Enter the IP address or hostname (if DNS is appropriately configured
on the CC-SG) of the target you want to check in the Ping Target field.
3. Select: Optional.
Option
Show other received ICMP
packets
No DNS Resolution
Record Route
Use Broadcast Address
Adaptive Timing
Description
Verbose output, which lists other received
ICMP packets in addition to
ECHO_RESPONSE packets. Rarely seen.
Does not resolve addresses to host names.
Records route. Turns on the IP record route
option, which will store the route of the
packet inside the IP header.
Allows pinging a broadcast message.
Adaptive ping. Interpacket interval adapts to
round-trip time, so that effectively not more
than one unanswered probes present in the
network. Minimal interval is 200 msec.
4. Type values for how many seconds the ping command will execute,
how many ping requests are sent, and the size for the ping packets
(default is 56, which translates into 64 ICMP data bytes when
combined with 8 bytes of ICMP header data). If left blank, defaults will
be used. Optional.
5. Click Ping. If the results show a series of replies, the connection is
working. The time shows you how fast the connection is. If you see a
"timed out" error instead of a reply, the connection between your
computer and the domain is not working. See Edit Static Routes (on
page 249).
6. Press Ctrl+C to terminate the session.
Note: Press CTRL+Q to display a statistics summary for the session so far
and continue to ping the destination.
