We can also enable the simulation mode in the packet tracer while pinging other devices to see how the ICMP traffic travels in the network. The ping command is supported by most of the devices in packet tracer so we can use this command in various types of devices added to the network.
While creating a network in the packet tracer, it is essential to check the connectivity at every step because it is easy to find our issue at the earliest otherwise, it becomes hard if we have already created the network and there is no proper connectivity. In the Cisco packet tracer, the ICMP protocol request is sent to the destination when we use the ping command and if the proper connectivity is established then we will get the ICMP reply back from the destination address.
ICMP is one of those protocols used most often by network administrators while troubleshooting network issues. Internet control message protocol is to check the connectivity within the network. ICMP in Cisco packet tracer and how it is used
