| -a | a.b.c.d Sets the sender address of the ping (default: IP address of the router) |
| -a INT | Sets the intranet address of the router as the sender address |
| -a DMZ | Sets the DMZ address of the router as the sender address |
| -a LBx | Sets one of the 16 loopback addresses in the LANCOM as the sender address. Valid values for x are the hexadecimal values 0 – f |
| -a <Interface> | Sets the IP address of the corresponding interface as the sender address |
| -d | Adds a "don't fragment" flag for the ping, so that ping packets won't be fragmented. Only works with IPv4. When using a DNS name, which can also be resolved via IPv6, the parameter -4 has to be added as well. |
| -f | Sends a large number of pings in a short time (flood ping). Useful, for example, to test the network bandwidth. WARNING: flood ping can easily be misinterpreted as a DoS attack. |
| -n | Returns the computer name of a specified IP address |
| -q | Ping command returns no output to the console (quiet) |
| -r | Changes to traceroute mode: The path taken by the data packets to the target computer is displayed with all intermediate stations |
| -s n | Sets the packet size to n bytes (max. 1472) |
| -i n | Time between packets in seconds |
| -c n | Send n ping signals |
| -x x | Controls fragmentation for IPv6 (Atomic Fragments) Options: (n)ever, (f)orce, (a)automatic The equivalent to the parameter -d can be attained by entering -x n, additionally the parameter -6 should be added. |
| %<scope> | Specifies an interface, via which the ping is sent when using a Link-Local address (IPv6 only). |
| %%<interface> | This parameter allows to specify a distinct source interface. The parameter must be added behind the ping destination and no space must be entered in between. Example: ping 81.81.81.1%%INTERNET |
| @<Routing-Tag> | This parameter allows to specify a routing tag for a distinct routing entry, via which the destination can be reached. The parameter must be added behind the ping destination and no space must be entered in between. Example: ping 81.81.81.1@5 |
