tcpdump command example

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat
1

Hi,

I have linux server in a network with hardware firewall device with ip 192.168.1.1 in front.

we have domain http://t.exaple.com which resolves 192.168.1.10

My admin has blocked ping to 192.168.1.10

Now using tcpdump, how do I check if I am receiving the traffic or not ?

Could somebody post the command and describe how to analyses the dump results..

I read through tcpdump in Internet, but could not get tcpdump command example based on scenarios.

Thanks
