When you run the ping command, the system displays the Ping Results Web page to show whether the command was successful. The following sections describe successful and unsuccessful ping results:
If the ping command runs successfully, the Ping Results Web page displays a brief summary similar to the following:

If the ping command does not run successfully, the Ping Results Web page displays an error message. Each error message points to one or more possible problems, such as:
100% packet loss. This error message can indicate a variety of things, including:
The network host is down.
The host is denying the packets.
The network is down.
The ping was sent to the wrong address.
Packets are rejected. This message indicates that the host is rejecting the packets.
Packets did not reach the host. This message indicates a problem with the network. Therefore, the ping packets cannot reach the host.
