The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After
sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals.
Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is
not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points
(!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]
indicate that the connection failed.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60:
Router# ping 10.1.1.60
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.60, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
Router#
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the destination device and that the
destination device is active (powered on), and then repeat the ping command.
