    Hello jackin,

    This indicates multiple network devices along the route are configured to respond this way when they cannot reach the intended target. It's not a default behavior of the PING utility but rather a result of the specific way network devices.

    The "Destination host unreachable" response typically occurs in situations where there's an issue in the network, such as routing problems.

    To check if the routing is correctly configured in your network, you can run command **** route print, you can see how routes are configured.

    Regards,

    Karlie
