How can I ping multiple IP addresses at the same time in linux

Posted by Yovcho Yovchev on

Just need install fping package for your distro

For Fedora, CentOS, AlmaLinux etc.

yum install fping -y

For Debian, Ubuntu etc.

apt install fping -y

We are ready now for tests:

fping -a -A -l host1 host2 host3 host4 etc...
fping -a -A -l cloudflare.com bbc.com yahoo.com google.com

Params:

  • -a  Show systems that are alive
  • -A Display targets by address rather than DNS name
  • -l Loop sending packets to each target indefinitely. Can be interrupted with Ctrl-C; statistics about responses for each target are then displayed.
