Why each option
To specify the number of ICMP echo requests (packets) to send with the `ping` command on a Windows server, the `-n` option is used.
The `-n` option with the Windows `ping` command allows the user to define the exact number of echo requests to send to the destination host. For example, `ping -n 5 192.168.1.1` would send 5 packets.
The `-a` option with the `ping` command performs a reverse DNS lookup, resolving IP addresses to hostnames.
The `-r` option with the `ping` command records the route for the specified hop count, tracing the path taken.
The `-v` option is not a standard or documented parameter for the `ping` command on Windows servers for defining packet count.
