The only thing that pinging the local loopback adapter on a host will prove is that the TCP/IP stack is installed and operating correctly. It will not diagnose a faulty NIC.

What special about address containing 127 in the first octet and how this address is used troubleshooting?

IP addresses that have 127 in the first octet (for example 127.0.0.1) are reserved for loopback addresses, meaning that they point back to the local computer. For example, if I ping 127.0.0.1 from my computer, I will get a reply from my own computer. This works with any IP address beginning with 127. For example pinging 127.34.100.12 (last three octets can be any number between 0 and 255) pings my local computer as well.

What is pinging an ip address?

Pinging is to determine and diagnose the quality of your internet connection. It's a tool to send out packets of data to a host (the IP OR web address) and wait for the traffic to return. The results of the ping will inform you how many packets were sent, were received, and if any, were lost, and the time it took for the round trip in milliseconds.Anyone can conduct a ping and sometimes it's fun. Just click the start menu, type CMD, then type Ping www.Google.comthe results will appear in a second or so.You can compare it to a submarine pinging for nearby ships - in fact that's where the term came from! :-)
