PING THE IP ADDRESS OR HOSTNAME OF ANOTHER REMOTE HOST. YOU CAN PIN...
6. Ping the IP address or hostname of another remote host. You can pinga hostname by typing ping https://traloihay.net. This will let youknow that you are able to communicate through a router. Another useful troubleshooting tool is the pathping command.This command com-bines aspects of PING and tracert, and adds in some additional features that make it anexcellent troubleshooting tool.This tool works by measuring the packet loss across eachrouter between the source machine and the destination.This information can help youdetermine where your network reliability problems may be coming from.The syntax forthe pathping command is as follows:
pathping [-n] [-h maximum_hops value] [-g host-list] [-p value]
[-q value] [-w value] final_destination
Where:■
-n Tells pathping not to resolve addresses to host names.■
-h maximum_hops value Sets the maximum number of hops you want thecommand to search for the target.The default is 30 hops.■
-g host-list Provides a loose source route along the host list.■
-p period Sets the wait period in milliseconds between pings.The default is 250milliseconds.■
-q num_queries Sets the number of queries per hop.The default is 100 queries.■
-w timeout Sets the time length in milliseconds for each reply before the com-mand times out on that hop.The default is 3000 milliseconds.■
-T Tests the connectivity to each hop with Layer-2 priority tags.■
-R Tests to see if each hop is RSVP-aware.■
final_destination The host name or IP address of the network, domain, ormachine that you are testing the route to.The tool will first trace the route to the destination, and then analyze the traffic run-ning through each hop. Keep in mind that one test is not sufficient to give you a good ideaabout what is going on.There is no specific number of lost packets that signify that a link iscausing you problems. If the number is in double digits, though, you should probablyexamine that route carefully.To get a realistic picture of what is going on in your network,test a router over time and test in both peak and off-peak usage.If you’re using multicast routing, another useful troubleshooting command is mrinfo.This command displays multicast router configuration information.The syntax is as follows:mrinfo [-n] [-?] [-i address] [-t secs] [-r retries] destination
■
-n Displays the IP addresses in numeric format.■
-? Prints usage information.
