.. _vyos.vyos.vyos_ping_module:
*******************
vyos.vyos.vyos_ping
*******************
**Tests reachability using ping from VyOS network devices**
Version added: 1.0.0
.. contents::
:local:
:depth: 1
Synopsis
--------
- Tests reachability using ping from a VyOS device to a remote destination.
- Tested against VyOS 1.1.8 (helium)
- For a general purpose network module, see the :ref:`net_ping <net_ping_module>` module.
- For Windows targets, use the :ref:`win_ping <win_ping_module>` module instead.
- For targets running Python, use the :ref:`ping <ping_module>` module instead.

Notes
-----
.. note::
- Tested against VyOS 1.1.8 (helium).
- For a general purpose network module, see the :ref:`net_ping <net_ping_module>` module.
- For Windows targets, use the :ref:`win_ping <win_ping_module>` module instead.
- For targets running Python, use the :ref:`ping <ping_module>` module instead.
- This module works with connection ``network_cli``. See `the VyOS OS Platform Options <../network/user_guide/platform_vyos.html>`_.
- For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the :ref:`Ansible Network Guide <network_guide>`
