Pinging a Remote System
This procedure instructs the AT-GS950/24 switch to ping a node on your
network. This procedure is useful in determining whether an active link
exists between the switch and another network device.
Note
The device you are pinging must be a member of the Default VLAN
and within the same local area network as your switch. In other
words, the port on the switch through which the node is
communicating with the switch must be an untagged or tagged
member of the Default VLAN.
To ping a network device, perform the following procedure:
1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, select the Tools
folder.
The Tools folder expands.
2. From the Tools folder, select Ping.
The Ping Test Configuration Page is displayed. See Figure 18.

Destination IP Address - The IP address of the node you want to
ping in the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format.
Timeout Value - Specifies the length of time, in seconds, the
switch waits for a response before assuming that a ping has failed.
Number of Ping Requests - Specifies the number of ping
requests you want the switch to perform.
4. Click Start.
