A FOR loop can be used to perform consecutive pings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ping Sweep FOR Loop:<\/strong> FOR \/L %i in (<span style=\"color: #800000;\">&lt;Host Number Start (0-255)&gt;<\/span>,1,<span style=\"color: #800000;\">&lt;Ending Host Number (0-255)&gt;<\/span>) do @ping -n 1<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> &lt;Network Prefix&gt;<\/span>.%i | find &#8220;Reply&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The FOR loop is basically saying start at a network prefix with stated starting host number value and send a ping. Once a reply as been received the first loop is finished and it continues to the next loop. After each loop, the host number increases and a ping is sent to that address on the network. For example, say the network prefix is 192.168.0 and we want to ping host numbers (3-43). We would enter 3 as our beginning host number and 43 as are finishing host number. The one in between the two parameters states to increase each address by one for each running of the for loop. This allows us to ping each host on the the specified network range, thus performing a ping sweep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Windows Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following command ping sweeps addresses in range 192.168.100.0 &#8211; 192.168.100.255<\/p>\n<p><!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml>\n<o:OfficeDocumentSettings>\n<o:AllowPNG\/>\n<\/o:OfficeDocumentSettings>\n<\/xml><![endif]--><!-- [if gte mso
