As the administrator of a school computer room, I think the network maintenance process ping command is the first one must master the DOS command, which is used to check whether the network or the network connection speed smooth command. Using the principle is this: the use of the machine on the network IP address is unique to the destination IP address to send a data packet, and then ask to return a similarly sized data packets to determine whether the machine is connected to two network connected, delay how much. It is built on the Windows system TCP / IP protocol, the need for a separate installation. Ping command is powerful, it can detect the connectivity between networks, or the detection of network transmission instability.
作為作為學校微機室的管理員，我覺得在網(wǎng)絡的維護過程中ping命令是第一個必須掌握的DOS命令，它是用來檢查網(wǎng)絡是否通暢或者網(wǎng)絡連接速度的命令。它所利用的原理是這樣的：利用網(wǎng)絡上機器IP地址的唯一性，給目標IP地址發(fā)送一個數(shù)據(jù)包，再要求對方返回一個同樣大小的數(shù)據(jù)包來確定兩臺網(wǎng)絡機器是否連接相通，時延是多少。它內置于Windows系統(tǒng)的TCP/IP協(xié)議中，無需單獨安裝。Ping命令功能強大，通過它可以檢測網(wǎng)絡之間的連通性，或檢測網(wǎng)絡傳輸?shù)牟环€(wěn)定性。
       

1 Use the ping command to test network card and its configuration
1.利用ping命令測試網(wǎng)卡及其配置
       

Ping the computer by using the local IP address or ping127.0.0.1 can be directly installed correctly detect whether the computer LAN equipment, network equipment is installed TGP / IP protocols, and network card is properly configured with an IP address and subnet mask. Specific forms of use are: ping local IP address or ping127.0.0.1. If the local IP address to ping the computer successfully, the following message is displayed
 通過使用ping計算機的本地IP地址或ping127.0.0.1可直接檢測計算機是否正確安裝了網(wǎng)卡設備，網(wǎng)卡設備是否安裝了TGP/IP協(xié)議，以及網(wǎng)卡是否正確配置了IP地址和子網(wǎng)掩碼。具體使用形式是:ping本地IP地址或ping127.0.0.1。如果ping計算機本地IP地址成功，則會顯示如下信息

Replay from 172.168.200.2 bytes = 32 time <10ms
Ping statistics for 172.168.200.2
Packets Sent = 4 Received = 4 Lost = 0 0% loss
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds
Minimum = 0ms Maxiumu = 1ms Average = 0ms
       

Description NIC device TCP / IP protocol has been installed correctly. If in MS-DOS mode, run this command to display the contents: Request timed out, it indicates that the NIC installation or configuration problem. Disconnect the network cable to run this command again, if the display is normal, then the IP address of the machine may be used with another IP address of the machine being used to repeat. If it still is not normal, it indicates that the local network card installation or configuration problems, need to continue to check the relevant network configuration. On the contrary, indicating that the network card driver is correct, may not be installed TCP / IP protocol. Here is the card comes with default 127.0.0.1 IP address, regardless of whether the card assigned an IP address, which will continue to exist, and is valid on the local computer in the network is invalid.
       

2.Ping gateway IP
Gateway IP is assumed: 172.168.6.1, then execute the command Ping 172.168.6.1. In MS-DOS mode, run this command, if the display similar to the following information:
Reply from 172.168.6.1 bytes = 32 time = 9ms TTL = 255  http://www.400190.com/jsjwl/
Ping statistics for 172.168.6.1
Packets Sent = 4 Received = 4 Lost = 0
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds
Minimum = 1ms Maximum = 9ms Average = 5ms
It indicates that the LAN gateway router is operating normally. Not vice versa, then the gateway problem.


3.Ping remote IP
This command can detect whether the machine properly access the Internet. Such as the local telecom operator's IP address: 202.102.48.141. In MS-DOS mode, execute the command: Ping 202.102.48.141, if the screen displays:
Reply from 202.102.48.141 bytes = 32 time = 33ms TTL = 252
Reply from 202.102.48.141 bytes = 32 time = 21ms TTL = 252
Reply from 202.102.48.141 bytes = 32 time = 5ms TTL = 252
Reply from 202.102.48.141 bytes = 32 time = 6ms TTL = 252
Ping statistics for 202.102.48.141
Packets Sent = 4 Received = 4 Lost = 0 0% loss
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds
       

Minimum = 5ms Maximum = 33ms Average = 16ms
       

Indicates normal operation, the normal Internet access.
On the contrary, it indicates that the host file (windows / host) problems.
       

4 LAN connection using the ping test
       

In the LAN connection between computers Unicom situation LAN via ping other computers or server name or IP address of the computer you can test the same network (or VLAN) is properly connected. Specifically the following cases:
       

(A) detect the IP address and subnet mask settings are correct
       

By ping LAN computer name or IP address, if not pmg pass, should proceed to check the machine's IP address and subnet mask settings are correct, check the IP address is set to the same subnet IP address, subnet mask code setting reasonable and consistent.
       

(2) detect the network connection is correct
       

If the LAN computer's IP address and subnet mask is set correctly, use the ping command to ping the local area computer name or IP address is still not successful, the game should proceed within the network devices such as switches or Hub and communication transmission media - cable, connector other piecewise inspection, testing and troubleshooting.
       

5.ping command common error message


(1) Request timed out
a. the other side has been shut down, or did not have the address on the network: for example, in the figure above in host A PING 192.168.0.7, or shut down the host B, host A in PING 192.168.0.5 will get the information out.
b. each other and they're not the same network segment, by routing can not find each other, but sometimes the other does exist, of course, there is also a return timeout message.
c. other side does exist, but the set up ICMP packet filtering (eg firewall settings)
How do you know each other exists, or does not exist, it can be used with the Ping command parameter-a probing each other, if we can get each other's NETBIOS name, the other party is there, there is a firewall settings, if not, mostly they do not exist or is shut down, or not in the same network segment. d. Errors set the IP address
Under normal circumstances, a host should have an adapter, an IP address, or multiple network cards, multiple IP addresses (these addresses must be in different IP subnets). However, if a computer "Dial-Up Networking Adapter" (equivalent to a soft NIC)'s TCP / IP settings, set up a LAN IP address in the same subnet as the IP address, so it seems at the IP layer protocol, which hosts have two different interfaces on the same network segment. When this host Ping other machines when there is a problem:
A. I do not know the host to which the packet is sent network interface, because there are two network interfaces are connected to the same network segment.
B. host does not know which address as the source address of the packet. Therefore, from this host to Ping other machines, IP layer protocol will not be processed after the timeout, Ping will give a "no answer timeout" error message alert. But other hosts Ping this host, the request packet from a specific network card, ICMP simply enter destination, source address interchangeable and can change some signs, ICMP response packet can successfully issued, other hosts will also be able Ping successfully pass this machine.


(2) Destination host Unreachable
Each other and they're not the same network segment, while he has not set the default route, such as the example machine A default route is not set, run the Ping 192.168.1.4 appears "Destination host Unreachable".
Network cable out of the failure
Here to explain "destination host unreachable" and "time out" the difference, if the routers in the routing table has a route to reach the target, and the target can not be reached because of other reasons, this time there will be "time out", if even reach the target routing table routing are not, then there will be "destination host unreachable".


(3) Bad IP address
This message indicates that you may not be connected to the DNS server, so it can not resolve the IP address, or it may be an IP address does not exist.


(4) Source quench received
This information is rather special, it appears very little chance. It means that the other party or the middle of a busy server can not respond.


(5) Unknown host - unknown host
This error message means that the remote host's name can not be domain name server (DNS) into IP addresses. Failure may be due to a faulty name server, or the name is incorrect, or the network administrator's system and the lines of communication between the remote host has failed.


(6) No answer - no response
       

This failure indicates that the local system has a route leading to the central host, but can not receive it on to the central host any of the information. Failure may be due to one of the following: central host did not work; local or central host network configuration is incorrect; local or central router does not work; communication line is faulty; central host routing problems exist.
       

Tips:
        In order to effectively identify network failure reason we use the Ping command to test check, try to make sure the LAN is configured with only one gateway, while ensuring local workstation IP Security Policy is not enabled, so you can ensure the Ping command to obtain the correct test results.
