![]() ![]() Ping operates at layer 3 of the OSI layer, it initiates an ICMP echo request and sent it to lower process.ġ> Since the source IP address is not specified in the command, the device sets its IP as the source IP address.Ģ>The destination IP address 172.16.1.100 is not in the same subnet and is not the broadcast address, so the device Sets the next-hop to the default gateway addressģ> since the next gateway MAC address is not in the ARP table of the PC, it initiates an ARP request for the same. Step 1: PC 1 Initiating Network ping command The complete traffic flow will be explained in the 5 step process: Scenario: PC 1 and PC 2 are in different IP subnet. Mainly our focus is on how the packet is traversing through the devices and what modifications are made on packets to reach the destination. Here I’m explaining the Network ping command flow in a simple network which I have tested and verified using network simulation tool – Cisco packet tracer. Ping is the software utility to test the reachability of a host in a network, it is crucial for a network engineer to know how ping works in a real network.
