Ping

Use this panel 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. Once you click the Apply button, the switch will send three pings and the results will be displayed in the Ping field, below the IP address.

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.

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the station you want the switch to ping. The initial value is

 

blank. The IP address you enter is not retained across a power cycle.

received from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: (send count = 3, receive count = n).

Click the Apply button to initiate the ping.
