Figure 6- 19. Ping Test
The user may use Infinite times radio button, in the Repeat Pinging for: field, which will tell the ping program to keep sending ICMP Echo packets to the specified IP address until the program is stopped. The user may opt to choose a specific number of times to ping the Target IP Address by clicking its radio button and entering a number between 1 and 255. The user can also choose a Time Out for the ping, which will terminate the ping request if no response packet has returned to the Switch in the allotted time. Click Start to initiate the Ping program.
