Running the ping command with -n "count" is the number of echo request to send.
ping -n 8 destination
For a Microsoft Windows computer: ping -n 9 For a Linux computer: ping -c 9
in windows if you ping an ip address, it will send 4 pings. Using -n you can vary the number of pings the command will send. For example Ping www.google.com will result in 4 replys but, ping www.google.com -n 5 will result in 5 replys. Ping /? will give you all the commands related to ping.
ping transfer small data to an IP or address and the device will send some back. Usually used to check if both devices are online and if the address is correct. -n only counts number of echo to send.
You use ping 192.168.5.36 -n 20 -I 1024
To ping a host 1,000 times, you can use the command line in your operating system. On Windows, open Command Prompt and type ping -n 1000 [hostname or IP address], replacing [hostname or IP address] with the target you want to ping. On Linux or macOS, use the command ping -c 1000 [hostname or IP address]. This will send 1,000 echo requests to the specified host.
There is no "-n" command by default in linux, though it can be an option to other commands. For example, in the make(1) command, it can be used to suppress the make program from actually doing the actions specified - it just prints out what it would have done.Answer[-n] may be what is called a "switch" typically passed to a Unix or Linux command. As mentioned above, it modifies the actions of another command. For example, in the sort(1) command, it instructs sort to sort numerically instead of alphabetically. The meaning of any given switch will typically vary from command to command so read each man page carefully before using a switch. [JMH]
The ping command will send roundtrip packets to a destination ( other PC, router, printer, etc. ) and see how long it takes. The 192.168.0.1 is the destination ( which, by the way is a typical default IP address of a router. ) The -l 1000 is how big the packet should be in bytes. The default is 32, if the -l parameter is not used. And the -n 100 is saying to send it 100 times. The default is 4, when this parameter is not used.
We can check from the server by using PING command. We should use give the client name or IP address followed by the PING commands. For example PING 128.0.0.156 -n 4 Where -n and the 4 is no echo requests to send times. If the client is connect with the server the reply is coming with some informations.
Simply, it will "ping" (send data and request a response) the device on the local network at the IP address 192.168.0.1 (usually that address will be held by a router) 100 times, each time with a packet of 1,000 bytes. That said, I can't think of any reason I'd use that particular set of parameters in a ping command. But, it'll do what you told it to do.
