I am trying to use ping with specified interface with a command



ping -I re3 192.168.1.1


I know re3 exists from ifconfig

Unfortunately I can't ping it's gateway:

What that mean?

          • If arp cant fetch mac address of your gateway then freebsd server

          • Check whether gateway of your server is UP/RUNNING, and also check

            On FreeBSD and macos the -I flag does not behave as one would expect from Linux. If you check the man page carefully, you'll see:




             -I iface
            Source multicast packets with the given interface **address**.



            [emphasis mine]



            So the -I flag actually expects an address, not an interface. You can confirm with something like:



            $ ping -I 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.1


            But unless your target IP address is a multicast address this will still fail.



            To get the behaviour we all know and expect from traceroute and Linux, use the -S flag instead and specify the IP address of the interface you want to use:



            $ ping -S 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.1
            PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) from 192.168.1.20: 56 data bytes
            64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=5.956 ms
