If this ping succeeds, it is an indication that there is no routing problem. If the extended ping command from Router A fails, it means that there is either a routing problem or a default gateway problem. It is also possible that one or both hosts do not have their default gateway set correctly. You should correct any routing problems, and then Host 1 should try to ping Host 2 again. If Host 1 still cannot ping Host 2, then both hosts' default gateways should be checked.
Type escape sequence to abort.
The following table lists the ping command field descriptions. As show above, these fields can be modified with the use of the extended ping command. Prompts for a supported protocol. Enter appletalk, clns, ip, novell, apollo, vines, decnet, or xns. Prompts for the IP address or host name of the destination node you plan to ping.
