The ping command is a widely used and supported network troubleshooting utility.
It can be found on pretty much any operating system, from Windows, Mac and Linux, to even switches, routers and firewalls.
Ping uses ICMP, or the Internet Control Message Protocol, to test connectivity between two nodes.
The name ping comes from sonar. Sonar works by sending out sound waves and detecting any echoes reflected back by objects. Ping works in a similar way.
By sending a receiving a successful ping, you can determine if a system is on the network, and most importantly, if you can reach it.
There will be times when some, or none of the replies come back, and there are a few things that could cause this.
Request Timed Out
Then the most obvious cause of this error is that the system you’re trying to reach doesn’t exist, isn’t powered on, or isn’t connected to the network.
Another reason why a system might not respond to a ping is due to the firewall.
Destination Host Unreachable
This error generally indicates that a route to the destination cannot be found. This could be from the localhost or the default gateway.
Ping could not find the host
This means your computer was unable to resolve the hostname to an IP address indicating a potential DNS server issue.
That's what happened when you have complete packet loss. Where things can get a bit more difficult to troubleshoot is when you only get partial packet loss, meaning some pings get replies but others don’t.
This can be caused by any number of things but generally, it means something is not behaving the way it should
Some examples are
Broken network cards
Broken cables
Problems with the switches or routers
And this could be at any point between you and the machine you are trying to reach.
So for that reason, complete packet loss is usually easier to troubleshoot.
CertBros videos are simple, short, and help new guys understand the IT world by building up foundational understanding. It also helps that his voice is relaxing lol.
Thank you Jeff! Really appreciate the kind words. Hope my relaxing voice doesn't put you to sleep though 🤣
agree
Love the way you guys explain I.T. topics. I just don't grasp things as easily anywhere else. Really can't wait for your CCNA course!
Nice video tags, I searched for Linux and got Windows - using fake tags is always a great look for a channel
Sorry you got the wrong video. No Linux tags here though. Hope you found the answer you were looking for.
Something so simple, explained so well

What ports should be blocked on a server?
Generally speaking, all inbound traffic should be blocked accept what you specifically need
nice
Thanks Richard!
Someone taken over this channel from something else? Never subbed to this, not had any feeds of updates but suddenly now get one and starts to appear in my subs.
No the channel hasn't changed really. Maybe you subed a while ago when the videos looked slightly different? Either way, thanks for stopping by 😁
I'm disappointed becuse I was looking for how to program / create my own ping command. A discussion of what one needs to do both in a procedural and OO language would be very helpful.
Wow.....
Thanks!
Gayest music
