Another very useful command beside the config command is the execute command.
And in this lesson we will look at the execute pin.
A very useful tool for troubleshooting connectivity issues so we can use the execute
ping just as we use it in other platform and send ICMP echo messages to different Web site to see if
we have connectivity to that Web site or to a specific server in our local area networks.
But ping is much more powerful than that.
We can use different pinged options to setup different parameters.
So let's take a view.
All right.
So if we type in the execute ping options we can type in a question mark and see the different options.
Let's use another or a different repeat count.
So we will send not three packets.
We will send 10 packets towards Google dot com
and other very useful feature of the execute ping option is using this source option the source options
allows me to set up the source that will send a ping packet towards any destination.
So let's see how we do it.
We use the ping options and my source Group B see what is the IP config.
Let's see what the IP address of my windows machines 10 to 0 the 3 to 5.
So I can use it as the source and I will send a ping from that source towards Google dot com to see
if that computer has connectivity
and yes it does now.
Don't hesitate to play around with those ping options you will find them very useful for troubleshooting.
