Ping
The IPv4 Ping field can be used to 'ping' a target IP or FQDN.
'ping' uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway.
When used with the '-i', '-v', or '-l' options, specifies the interface or VLAN through which the ping is conducted.
The 'ping-options' are the same as in the usual Linux 'ping' command.
Run 'man ping' for details of the Linux 'ping' command.
Traceroute
The IPv4 Traceroute field will run the Linux 'traceroute' utility.
'traceroute' tracks the route packets take to reach a host.
The parameters are the same as those taken by the Linux 'traceroute' command.
Run 'man traceroute' for details.
