Ping and Tracert Configuration
Ping and tracert monitor network connectivity and forwarding paths.
Configuration Precautions for Ping and Tracert
Using Ping/Tracert on an IP Network
The ping can monitor link connectivity, and the tracert operation can provide information used to locate a faulty node.
Using Ping/Tracert on an MPLS Network
The ping and tracert operations can be used to monitor MPLS networks.
Using Ping/Tracert on a VPN Network
The ping and tracert operations monitor VPN networks.
Using Ping/Tracert on a Layer 2 Network
The ping or tracert operations provides information used to locate Ethernet link faults.
Using Ping/Tracert to Test a Multicast Network
You can perform a ping/tracert operation to detect and monitor a multicast network.
Using Ping/Tracert to Test an SRv6 Network
Ping and tracert can be used to test and monitor a Segment Routing IPv6 (SRv6) network.
