Pinging an IP device
Ping a device to test the connection between the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 and another network device. After you ping a device, the switch sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packet to the target device. If the device receives the packet, it sends a ping reply. After the switch receives the reply, a message appears indicating you can reach the specified IP address. If the switch does not receive a reply, the message indicates the address is not responding.
