Ping and Link Tests

The Ping test and the Link test are point-to-point tests between your switch and another IEEE 802.3-compliant device on your network. These tests can tell you whether the switch is communicating properly with another device.

To respond to a Ping test or a Link test, the device you are trying to reach must be IEEE 802.3-compliant.

Ping Test. This is a test of the path between the switch and another device on the same or another IP network that can respond to IP packets. (“Ping” is an acronym for “Packet INternet Groper”.) If the network device responds correctly, the test passes.

Link Test. This is a test of the connection between the switch and a desig-

 

nated network device on the same LAN. During the link test, IEEE 802.2 Test

 

packets are sent to the designated network device. The remote device must

 

return IEEE 802.2 Test Response packets to the switch. If the network device

Troubleshooting

returns the packets, the test passes.
