To check whether TCP/IP is correctly installed. 127.0.0.1 refers to your local machine, so if TCP/IP works, the ping should always be successful.

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.
