aws network load balancer ping fail from terminal

Question

We have configured our website server with network load balancing. When we tried to ping our domain name using terminal all ping lost.

I tried to figure it out and have no clue how to configure NLB to listen ping from terminal.

Is even ping supported for nlb? – Marcin Oct 11 '22 at 11:41 — Marcin, Oct 11 '22 at 11:41

You need to create one/ multiple listeners in case of NLB and route them to specific target for serving the intended requests

Network traffic that does not match a configured listener is classified as unintended traffic. ICMP requests other than Type 3 (unreachable) are also considered unintended traffic. Network Load Balancers drop unintended traffic without forwarding it to any targets.
