Ping
Ping is a small program that sends ICMP Echo packets to the IP address you specify. The destination node then
responds to or "echoes" the packets sent from the Switch. This is very useful to verify connectivity between the Switch
and other nodes on the network.
To view the following window, click Tools > Ping, as shown below:
Figure 13-26 Ping Window
The fields that can be configured in IPv4 Ping are described below:
Parameter Description
Target IPv4 Address
Select and enter the IPv4 address to be pinged.
Domain Name
Select and enter the domain name of the system to discover.
Ping Times
Enter the number of times desired to attempt to Ping the IPv4 address configured
in this window. Users may enter a number of times between 1 and 255.
Tick the Infinite check box to keep sending ICMP Echo packets to the specified IP
address until the program is stopped.
Timeout
Select a timeout period between 1 and 99 seconds for this Ping message to reach
its destination. If the packet fails to find the IP address in this specified time, the
Ping packet will be dropped.
Source IPv4 Address
Enter the source IPv4 address. If the current Switch has more than one IP
address, you can enter one of them to this field. When entered, this IPv4 address
will be used as the packets' source IP address sent to the remote host, or as
primary IP address.
Click the Start button to initiate the Ping Test for each individual section.
The fields that can be configured in IPv6 Ping are described below:
Parameter Description
Target IPv6 Address
Select and enter the IPv6 address to be pinged. If the IPv6 address is a link-local
address or a multicast address, the IP interface name needs to be specified in the
following format: IPV6-ADDRESS%INTERFACE-ID.
For example, ff02::1%vlan110.
Domain Name
Select and enter the domain name of the system to discover.
