ping
ping [IP address|hostname]
The "ping" command allows to check connectivity to a network node with a
specific IP address.
The IP address has to be specified in this format: A.B.C.D
or, as an IPv6 address, in this format: A:B:C:D:E:F
The "ping" command also understands short cuts for the IPv6 address, i.e. "::".
Examples:
"ping 192.168.0.45"
"ping bad:cafe::10"
RESTAPI: The data can be passed in the body like this:
{
"parameters": {
"host": "192.168.0.45"
}
}
