J-Web Ping Host Results and Output Summary
Table 1 summarizes the output in the ping host display.
Table 1: Ping Host Results and Output
Ping Host Result | Description |
|---|---|
bytes bytes from ip-address |
|
icmp_seq=0 icmp_seq=number | number—Sequence Number field of the ping response packet. You can use this value to match the ping response to the corresponding ping request. |
ttl=number | number—Time-to-live hop-count value of the ping response packet. |
number packets transmitted | number—Number of ping requests (probes) sent to host. |
percentage packet loss | percentage—Number of ping responses divided by the number of ping requests, specified as a percentage. |
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = min-time/avg-time/max-time/std-dev ms |
|
If the device does not receive ping responses from the destination host (the output shows a packet loss of 100 percent), one of the following explanations might apply:
- The host is not operational.
- There are network connectivity problems between the device and the host.
- The host might be configured to ignore ICMP echo requests.
- The host might be configured with a firewall filter that blocks ICMP echo requests or ICMP echo responses.
- The size of the ICMP echo request packet exceeds the MTU of a host along the path.
- The value you selected in the Time-to-Live box was less than the number of hops in the path to the host, in which case the host might reply with an ICMP error message.
