PING might undoubtedly be one of the most used command by administrators. The ping utility was written by Mike Muuss in December 1983 as a tool to troubleshoot problems in an IP network. He was inspired by a remark by David Mills on using ICMP echo packets for IP network diagnosis and measurements.The author named it after the sound that sonar makes, since its methodology is analogous to sonar’s echo location (ref<\/a>)<\/h6>\n

<\/h6>\n
To make workstations communicate with each other, PING is a test command to check the connection established between two machines. PING relies on ICMP Protocol which is responsible for the reply and echo messages.\u00a0 The OS firewall rule will allow ICMP protocol only when inbound rule is set. We will learn how to create the inbound rule so that PING works –<\/h6>\n
