1
00:00:08,460 --> 00:00:14,450
Another very useful command beside the config command is the execute command.

2
00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:18,470
And in this lesson we will look at the execute pin.

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:27,390
A very useful tool for troubleshooting connectivity issues so we can use the execute

4
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:46,640
ping just as we use it in other platform and send ICMP echo messages to different Web site to see if

5
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:55,350
we have connectivity to that Web site or to a specific server in our local area networks.

6
00:00:57,410 --> 00:01:00,010
But ping is much more powerful than that.

7
00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:05,170
We can use different pinged options to setup different parameters.

8
00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:08,710
So let's take a view.

9
00:01:08,850 --> 00:01:09,230
All right.

10
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:17,330
So if we type in the execute ping options we can type in a question mark and see the different options.

11
00:01:17,330 --> 00:01:22,180
Let's use another or a different repeat count.

12
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,030
So we will send not three packets.

13
00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:29,780
We will send 10 packets towards Google dot com

14
00:01:53,470 --> 00:02:01,380
and other very useful feature of the execute ping option is using this source option the source options

15
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:09,720
allows me to set up the source that will send a ping packet towards any destination.

16
00:02:09,780 --> 00:02:12,330
So let's see how we do it.

17
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:24,640
We use the ping options and my source Group B see what is the IP config.

18
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:30,840
Let's see what the IP address of my windows machines 10 to 0 the 3 to 5.

19
00:02:31,090 --> 00:02:44,410
So I can use it as the source and I will send a ping from that source towards Google dot com to see

20
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,080
if that computer has connectivity

21
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:55,350
and yes it does now.

22
00:02:55,380 --> 00:03:03,240
Don't hesitate to play around with those ping options you will find them very useful for troubleshooting.
