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.

How do you ping in MAC?

Generally no.But if that mac address is currently contacting you, you can usually do a NETSTAT-A and see the mac address translation for each ip address. Then you'll know which IP address to ping.If you have access to the router (Cisco) that routes for the computer's localnetwork, then look in the arp table to find the MAC address:Command > sh arp | inc mac address [0000.0000.0000]Return will be > : Internet 198.25.15.2 5 0000.0000.0000 ARPA FastEthernet0/0 orwhatever the ip address is and the mac address.
