Description
The ping command checks the connectivity of the local network by sending
special (ICMP) packets to a specific host. These packets should be automatically
returned by that host. The command will indicate how many of these round-trips
were successfully completed.
Examples
Test connectivity to host 192.168.1.101.
RedBoot> ping -h 192.168.1.101
Network PING - from 192.168.1.31 to 192.168.1.101
PING - received 10 of 10 expected
Test connectivity to host 192.168.1.101, with verbose reporting.
Test connectivity to a non-existent host (192.168.1.109).
RedBoot> ping -h 192.168.1.109 -v -n 4
