Here is a simple ping script for block of IPs.
Bring PowerSheel ISE and copy & paste below script.
$ping = New-Object System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
$IPNet = "192.168.100";
$IPNode = 1;
while ( $IPNode -le 254 )
{
$IPTarget = "$IPNet.$IPNode";
$stat = $ping.send($IPTarget) select status;
$result = "$IPTarget $stat";
$result;
$IPNode = $IPNode + 1;
}
Output would be like…
192.168.100.1 @{Status=Success}
192.168.100.2 @{Status=TimedOut}
192.168.100.3 @{Status=Success}
192.168.100.4 @{Status=Success}
192.168.100.5 @{Status=Success}
192.168.100.6 @{Status=Success}
:
:
Or using "Test-Connection commands
$IPNode = 1;
while ( $IPNode -le 254 )
{
If (Test-Connection 192.168.100.$IPNode -Count 1 -Quiet)
{
"192.168.100.{0} : UP" -f $IPNode;
}
Else
{
"192.168.100.{0} : DOWN" -f $IPNode;
}
$IPNode = $IPNode + 1;
}
Output would be like…
192.168.100.1 : UP
192.168.100.2 : DOWN
192.168.100.3 : UP
192.168.100.4 : UP
192.168.100.5 : UP
