You are asked to access a server at a particular IP address. The server does not respond to ping requests, what could be the reason(s)? (PLEASE SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)
Firewall blocks ICMP
Firewall blocks TCP
Server configured not to respond to ping
The host is down
Multiple choises, but if there is a FW it usually blocks ping but you may also find said FW by scanning the IP-block, if you definetly know there is a server and it is online its the case of not configured to answer ping, if none of the above are the reason it is most likely the server is completely shutdown or you have the wrong IP address
EDIT: how server can be configured to not respond to ICMP? Using firewall is possible (it is another answer), but server cannot block itself ICMP.
