Pinging a Host
Ping is a utility used to test if a remote host can be reached and to measure the
round-trip time for packets sent from the device to a destination device.
Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request
packets to the target host and waiting for an ICMP response, sometimes called a
pong. It measures the round-trip time and records any packet loss.
To ping a host:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Ping.
STEP 2 Configure ping by entering the fields:
•Host Definition—Select whether to specify hosts by their IP address or
name.
