Program:

            /* ............... START ............... */
                
import java.net.*;

public class JavaPingExample {
	public static void main(String[] args) {

		try {
			String ipAddress = "127.0.0.1";
			InetAddress inet = InetAddress.getByName(ipAddress);
			System.out.println("Sending Ping Request to " + ipAddress);
			if (inet.isReachable(5000)) {
				System.out.println(ipAddress + " is reachable.");
			} else {
				System.out.println(ipAddress + " NOT reachable.");
			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			System.out.println("Exception:" + e.getMessage());
		}
	}
}

                /* ............... END ............... */
        

Output

Sending Ping Request to 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 is reachable.

Notes:

• The Ping command allows you to test the connection speed between you and another network node. You can use it to tell the strength, distance, and availability of a connection, either in your own network or over the internet.
• Syntax : public static InetAddress getByName(String host) throws UnknownHostException.
• In the program InetAddress.getByName(ipAddress) returns the instance of InetAddress containing LocalHost IP and name.
• inet.isReachable is used to ping IP Address.
