The answer is none.

No ports required for Ping as it uses icmp packets.

It needs to allow icmp 'echo-request' (type 8) packets out and icmp 'echo-reply' (type 0) packets in.

If you need to check the availability of a port, you must use a different tool, such as Paping.
It doesnt use any port. Echo request is an ICMP message which is an Internet Layer Protocol so it is sent as an IP datagram.
