ping

Use this command to have the switch transmit a Ping request to a specified IP address. This checks whether the switch can communicate with a particular IP device. The switch will send three Ping requests and display the results. The switch can be pinged from any IP workstation with which it is connected through the default VLAN (VLAN 1), as long as there is a physical path between the switch and the workstation.

Format

ping <ipaddr>

reset system

Use this command to reset the switch without powering it off. Reset means that all network connections are terminated and the boot code executes. The switch uses the stored configuration to initialize the switch. You will be prompted to confirm that the reset should proceed. A successful reset is indicated by the LEDs on the switch.
