Test the Network

**Run theping**command to test the network connection

  • Run the ping 8.8.8.8 command. If the ping succeeds and responses are received, the external network connection is normal.

  • Run the ping www.example.com command. If the ping succeeds, the external network connection is normal and the DNS resolution function is working properly.
