Setting Up an IP Interface for Management

Pinging uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo facility to send an ICMP echo request packet to the IP station you specify. It then waits for an ICMP echo reply packet. Possible responses from pinging are:

Alive

No answer

Network is unreachable. A network is unreachable when there is no route to that network.

To ping an IP station:

1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip ping

2Enter the IP address of the station you want to ping.

IP Address: 192.9.200.40

You could receive one of the following responses:

192.9.200.40 is alive

OR

no answer from 192.9.200.40

For a remote IP address, you can also receive the following response:

Network is unreachable

You should receive a response that the address you pinged is Alive. If you do not receive this response, be sure that you have defined the correct interface values.
