ping
Sends ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts using IPv4 addresses for troubleshooting.
Syntax
ping [<options>]
Parameters
<options> | The ping command takes the standard Linux options. For detailed information, see the Linux manual (man) page. |
Usage
The ping command without any options pings from the primary or the auxiliary (aux) interface and not the in-path interfaces.
If the primary and auxiliary interfaces are not on the same network as the in-path interfaces, you will not be able to ping an IP address on the in-path interface network unless you have a gateway between the two networks.
To ping from an in-path interface, use the following syntax:
ping -I <in-path interface IP address> <destination IP address>
Example
amnesiac > ping -I 10.1.1.1 10.11.22.15
PING 10.11.22.15 (10.11.22.15) from 10.1.1.1: 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.11.22.15: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.044 ms
64 bytes from 10.11.22.15: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms
64 bytes from 10.11.22.15: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.040 ms
