2. Click the Add button at the bottom of the Configuration tab.

3. Enter the following information to define the properties of the new ping test:

Test Name	Enter a short name for the ping test to describe either the target destination of the ping
	packet or the ping test’s expected result. Use the name provided in combination with the ping
	test description to convey the overall function of the test.
Description	Ensure the description is representative of the test, as this is the description displaying
	within the Configuration tab.
Destination IP	Enter the IP address of the target device. This is the numeric (non DNS address) destination
	for the device transmitted the ping packets.
No. of Probes	Define the number of ping packets transmitted to the target device. This value represents
	the number of packets to be transmitted to the target IP address to discern the round trip time
	between the switch and its connected device.
Timeout(sec)	Configure the timeout value (in seconds) used to timeout the ping test if a round trip packet
	is not received by the switch from its target device. Ensure this interval is long enough to
	account for network congestion between the switch and its target device.
Frequency	Define the interval (in seconds) between ping packet transmissions. Define a longer interval
	if high levels of network congestion are anticipated between the switch and its target
	device. Use a value of 0 to execute a single ping test or stop a currently running ping test.
