The main issue I am having with this is pinging the read in IP address. It always says that the address is down.
Ping_Sweep()
{
echo -e '\n'
echo '----- Ping Sweep -----'
echo -e '\n'
command date >> pingresults.tx
echo "Enter in the first three number sequences of an IP address (ex. ###.###.###): "
read -r ip_address
for x in $ip_address
do
echo "IP address being pinged: $ip_address"
if ping –c 1 "$x" &> /dev/null
then
echo "IP: $x is up."
else
echo "Ping failed. $x is down."
fi
done
