DESCRIPTION:

To verify the operational status of the Fast Ethernet interface the com-

can be changed with the parameter “-c”. The typical size of a ping

packet can be changed with the parameter “-s” and the time between

requests, which is typically one second, can be changed with the pa-

rameter “-w”.
Reponses to the “ping” command are dependent on the performance

of the network.
