How do you specify what address you want to ping from?

• A. src-address
• B. dst-address
• C. interface
• D. mac-address

Answer: (A)

The key idea is controlling which IP address the ping uses as its source. When you run a ping from a MikroTik device, you can specify the source IP with the src-address parameter. By setting this, the ICMP Echo Request is sent with that particular IP as the source, which is important when your device has multiple IPs or you want to test reachability from a specific interface/IP. The destination still defines who you’re pinging, but the reply will come back to the source you chose. Other options like dst-address pick the target, interface can influence which path or interface is used, and mac-address is related to Layer 2 addressing, not the IP source. So to specify which address to ping from, use the src-address setting.
