ping

ping [IP address|hostname]
The "ping" command allows to check connectivity to a network node with a
specific IP address.

The IP address has to be specified in this format: A.B.C.D
or, as an IPv6 address, in this format: A:B:C:D:E:F

The "ping" command also understands short cuts for the IPv6 address, i.e. "::".

Examples:
 "ping 192.168.0.45"
 "ping bad:cafe::10"

RESTAPI: The data can be passed in the body like this:
{
    "parameters": {
        "host": "192.168.0.45"
    }
}
