Learning Activity Sheet Special Program in Ict 9 Computer Systems Servicing 9

Ping is a utility used to test connectivity between devices on an IP network. It works by sending ICMP echo request packets to a target host and waiting for echo replies to determine if the host is reachable and measure response times. Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets and reviewing errors, packet loss, and response times.

PING (PACKET INTERNET GROPER)


BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

Ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host
on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is available for virtually all running structures that have
networking capability, along with most embedded network administration software.

Ping measures the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination pc
that are echoed lower back to the source. The identify comes from energetic sonar terminology
that sends a pulse of sound and listens for the echo to observe objects beneath water.

Ping operates by way of sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets
to the goal host and ready for an ICMP echo reply. The software reviews errors, packet loss, and
a statistical precis of the results, commonly which include the minimum, maximum, the imply
round-trip times, and popular deviation of the mean.

The command-line choices of the ping utility and its output differ between the numerous
implementations. Options may also consist of the dimension of the payload, count number of
tests, limits for the number of community hops (TTL) that probes traverse, interval between the
requests and time to wait for a response. Many structures provide a companion utility ping6, for
testing on Internet Protocol model 6 (IPv6) networks, which implement ICMPv6.

PING HISTORY

Ping is a pc community administration software program utility used to test the reachability of a
host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is reachable for sincerely all strolling constructions
that have networking capability, alongside with most embedded network administration
software.
Ping measures the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a vacation spot
computer that are echoed decrease lower back to the source. The perceive comes from energetic
sonar terminology that sends a pulse of sound and listens for the echo to take a look at objects
beneath water.

Ping operates with the aid of way of sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo
request packets to the intention host and equipped for an ICMP echo reply. The software
critiques errors, packet loss, and a statistical summary of the results, regularly which include the
minimum, maximum, the suggest round-trip times, and popular deviation of the mean.

The command-line alternatives of the ping utility and its output fluctuate between the severa
implementations. Options may also also consist of the dimension of the payload, remember
quantity of tests, limits for the range of neighborhood hops (TTL) that probes traverse, interval
between the requests and time to wait for a response. Many structures furnish a accomplice
utility ping6, for trying out on Internet Protocol mannequin 6 (IPv6) networks, which put into
effect ICMPv6.

PING FUNCTION

The ping command is a Command Prompt command used to take a look at the potential of the
supply computer to reach a unique vacation spot computer. The ping command is usually used as
a easy way to verify that a pc can talk over the network with any other pc or community device.

For example, you would possibly locate that there are no responses when pinging a network
printer, only to discover out that the printer is offline and its cable wants replaced. Or perhaps
you need to ping a router to verify that your computer can connect to it, to get rid of it as a
possible reason for a networking issue.

Using PING command in User’s IP Address

Step 1: Click the Start Button and Click the Command Prompt
Step 2: You will see a dark background screen, this is the Command Prompt

Step 3: Type “ipconfig”. It means that you are asking for the computer’s Internet Protocol
Address. Hit Enter.
Step 4: You will notice that the IP Address of the computer appeared including the subnet mask
and the router’s default gateway (Router’s IP address).

Step 5: Type “ping” and press space, then type the IP Address of the computer which is
192.168.0.104. Hit Enter. The IP address of different computers may differ according to the IP
address assigned by the router in Dynamic IP Address.

Step 6: You will notice that after hitting the Enter, it will reply. This is a good indication that the
IP Address of the computer is working.
LEARNING COMPETENCY

Try to ping your computer’s IP Address and the Default Gateway of the router.
