How To Guides for TCP/IP

TSO commands to test TCP/IP connectivity

Test connectivity to another host


         ping hostname
         

         ping ipaddr

ping will fail if ICMP requests are dropped by the target host or blocked by a router somewhere in the network path. Therefore, this should be first tried when the connection is working, to ensure that a failure is due to actual network connectivity problems.
