The ping command pings a device that you identify by IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN). You might run this diagnostic, for example, to determine whether the node you’re on can communicate with a specific DNS server, external time server, or external storage device.
The ping command pings the specified device ten times, displaying the result of the ping each time. However, if the device is unreachable, the command displays only the summary of the ping attempts after the ten tries.
To execute the ping command:
1.From the Appliance Diagnostics menu, enter 1.
A prompt for an IP address or FQDN appears.
2.Enter the target device IP address or FQDN.
The results of the ping command are displayed on the screen.
3.After viewing the display, press Enter to return to the Appliance Diagnostics menu.
Here’s a sample response to the ping command:
