ping

ping

This command checks if another computer is on the network and listens for connections. To use this command, configure the switch for network (in-band) connection. The source and target devices must have the ping utility enabled and running on top of TCP/IP. The switch can be pinged from any IP workstation with which the switch is connected through the default VLAN (VLAN 1), as long as there is a physical path between the switch and the workstation. The terminal interface sends three pings to the target station.

reload

	connections are terminated and the boot code executes. The switch uses the stored
	configuration to initialize the switch. You are prompted to confirm that the reset should
	proceed. A successful reset is indicated by the LEDs on the switch.
