Objective
Ping is a computer network tool which is used to troubleshoot and check whether a particular destination host is reachable across the IP network. Ping sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) request to the particular interface on the network and awaits a reply.
In a real-time scenario, users can use ping to verify that an IP address is valid and that it can accept requests. It is mainly used to troubleshoot the connectivity of a network.
Note: The user must be logged on to the Cisco OnPlus Portal and be able to choose the desired network in order to perform a ping test.
