To ping the management port:

1In the Appliance Manager, select an appliance in the Appliances view.

2In the Tools menu, click Ping. The ping command runs in a separate command window, where the results of the ping command are displayed.

You can override the operating system’s default ping tool by specifying an alternative in the Preferences window.
