After the installation of network you must check all the media through which we connected the network computers and other devices. The maintenance of your network is continues process.
Ping Command:-
Ping command is the easiest way to check your protocols, your Ethernet Cards, network cables and other means through which our peripherals are connected. When you apply ping command send a packet to the destination address and waits for reply, when it receives a reply from destination its mean that your protocols, LAN cards, network cables and network connects are working properly. There are several versions of Ping command. The ping command shows you the RTT (Round Trip Time) which means that in how much time ping command get back the packets. It will show you the packets that was lost, which mean that there are some problem in your media. It also shows you the duplicate, dropped and reordered packets.Also remember that the ping command did not show you that why the packet is delay, why it is damage, or why is it duplicate nor it show you that where is the problem. Ping command will not show you the reason why the packets are un-answered.
Functions used with Ping command:-
-f
If you use the function –F with Ping command it will send packets very fast to the destination, with the speed of 100 per second, it will slow down your network, because it like a flood in your network, to test your media. This is a good idea to use that command when your network will not busy.
-l (Pre-load)
Send packets very fast and then in normal, this is useful command when you want to check the performance of your router, that how your router handle these packets.
-n
When you have Name Server problems then use that function.
-r
Use this function if you have routing problem and during ping command it cant reached the destination, this command is used where host and destination connected directly without routers.
