How to Use the Ping Utility   253 

Use the Ping utility to verify IP-level connectivity. When troubleshooting, you can use 

Ping to send an ICMP echo request to a target host name or IP address. Use Ping 
whenever you need to verify that a host computer can connect to the TCP/IP 

network and network resources. You can also use Ping to isolate network hardware 
problems and incompatible configurations. 

To run Ping from the Support Tools Dashboard: 

1.  Use the System Select screen to select the system you want to work with. 

2.  From the Dashboard menu, select Cisco Common Tools > Ping. 

3.  In the Arguments field, enter desired arguments, as described in the Using 

section below. 

4.  Specify the command duration time or accept the default (60 seconds). This is 

the amount of time the command will attempt to run before terminating.  

5.  If desired, check Elevate Command Priority. This ensures the command will run 

regardless of the level of server activity. 

6.  Click the Run button.
