The purpose of the command is to send a ping request to the IP address 127.0.0.1. The IP should respond with a "pong" if it accessible. As the address 127.0.0.1 is the originator of the ping request, it should always respond unless something is wrong with the TCP/IP stack.
Successfully pinging the loopback address verifies that TCP/IP is installed and configured correctly on the local client.
