00:08.460 --> 00:14.450
Another very useful command beside the config command is the execute command.

00:15.030 --> 00:18.470
And in this lesson we will look at the execute pin.

00:18.840 --> 00:27.390
A very useful tool for troubleshooting connectivity issues so we can use the execute

00:32.240 --> 00:46.640
ping just as we use it in other platform and send ICMP echo messages to different Web site to see if

00:46.640 --> 00:55.350
we have connectivity to that Web site or to a specific server in our local area networks.

00:57.410 --> 01:00.010
But ping is much more powerful than that.

01:00.020 --> 01:05.170
We can use different pinged options to setup different parameters.

01:05.420 --> 01:08.710
So let's take a view.

01:08.850 --> 01:09.230
All right.

01:09.680 --> 01:17.330
So if we type in the execute ping options we can type in a question mark and see the different options.

01:17.330 --> 01:22.180
Let's use another or a different repeat count.

01:22.520 --> 01:26.030
So we will send not three packets.

01:26.030 --> 01:29.780
We will send 10 packets towards Google dot com

01:53.470 --> 02:01.380
and other very useful feature of the execute ping option is using this source option the source options

02:01.440 --> 02:09.720
allows me to set up the source that will send a ping packet towards any destination.

02:09.780 --> 02:12.330
So let's see how we do it.

02:12.420 --> 02:24.640
We use the ping options and my source Group B see what is the IP config.

02:24.640 --> 02:30.840
Let's see what the IP address of my windows machines 10 to 0 the 3 to 5.

02:31.090 --> 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

02:44.440 --> 02:47.080
if that computer has connectivity

02:50.390 --> 02:55.350
and yes it does now.

02:55.380 --> 03:03.240
Don't hesitate to play around with those ping options you will find them very useful for troubleshooting.
