PING <ADDRESS>
Use the ping command to determine whether or not a remote system is accessible. Ping works by sending a packet to the specified address (IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN) and waiting for a reply. Ping is used primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections.
Supports IPv4, IPv6, and FQDN.
The < number_packets> qualifier specifies how many packets you want to exchange (transmit/receive) with the remote host. If this qualifier is not used, the system exchanges four packets by default.
