PING is a utility to determine the connectivity between two nodes/network components. It works by sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. The round trip time is displayed as an output if the destination machine is up. PING is used primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections.
Ping sends ICMP packets to a target IP address and measures the response time and packet loss.
There are three different file formats that PING can export to:
Text File: This is simply a plain text file. The file extension will be *.txt.
RTF File: Select this format to export to a Rich Text File. RTF format preserved text formatting and colors. This format is useful for importing into other programs such as Microsoft Word.
HTML File: Select this format to publish to a web page. The exported file will be in HTML format.
Basic PING command syntax is: PING <hostname> or PING <IP address>
Example:
Ping 63.25.69.29
