The following is an invalid command...



ping -c3 -N 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2


If this command actually works, you have a very odd or custom or old version of ping.

<div>
So...<br />
<br />
1) <b>-N</b> - Not a ping option.<br />
<br />
2) Providing multiple hosts (1.1.1.1 + 2.2.2.2) is unsupported by ping.<br />
<br />
Start by providing the output of the following commands...<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-42988959-1">ping -V

ls /etc/*release*

cat /etc/*release*</code></pre>
</div>


So...

1) -N - Not a ping option.

2) Providing multiple hosts (1.1.1.1 + 2.2.2.2) is unsupported by ping.

Start by providing the output of the following commands...



ping -V

ls /etc/*release*

cat /etc/*release*

My mistake - this is not a linux server but a pstn call server gateway, so not a conventional o/s. The -N option is for index and uses the ip associated with that particular index.<br />
I think I found the answer - this is an error from the IP stack, not a &quot;no response&quot;.
