When you run the pingall command, a results screen shows whether the command was successful or not. The following sections describe successful and unsuccessful pingall results.
If the pingall command runs successfully, the Execute Pingall results screen displays a brief summary listing the host name, IP address, number of messages sent and received, and round trip time. The summary looks something like this:
Cannot map server2-cnb to IP address.

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 there is a problem with the network so that the ping packets cannot reach the host.
