Chapter 8: Managing, Troubleshooting, and Upgrading Access Points

Using ICMP Echo

ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo lets you ping devices using their IP address. ICMP echo can only be used if the access point has determined the IP address of the end device or another access point. If the access point is acting as an ARP server, it will determine the IP addresses of the end devices that are attached to it and allow you to use ICMP echo on the wireless network. The access point always knows the IP address of all access points in the spanning tree.

To use ICMP echo

1.From the menu, click Maintenance > AP Connections. The AP Connections screen appears.
