ping

Send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts. Unlike Unix-like systems, Windows ping sends only 4 packets by default. More information: https://learn.microsoft.com/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/ping.

• Ping a host 4 times:

ping {{host}}

• Ping a host a specific number of times:

ping -n {{count}} {{host}}

• Ping a host continuously (until stopped with <Ctrl c>):

ping -t {{host}}

• Set the timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply:

ping -w {{milliseconds}} {{host}}

• Set the buffer size of the ping packet in bytes:

ping -l {{bytes}} {{host}}

• Ping a host using a specific source IP address:

ping -S {{source_ip}} {{host}}

• Resolve address to hostname:

ping -a {{host}}
