Using the Ping Tool

You can use the Ping tool to determine connectivity from another switch to a port on your switch.

To use the Ping tool, follow these steps:

Step 1 Select Ping from the Fabric Manager Tools menu. You can also select it from the right-click context

menus for hosts and storage devices in the Fabric pane.

You see the Ping dialog box.

Step 2 Select the source switch from the Source Switch drop-down list.
Step 3 Select the VSAN in which you want to verify connectivity from the VSAN drop-down list.
Step 4 Select the target end port for which you want to verify connectivity from the Target Endport drop-down

list.
