Variable

Value

 

 

-d

Configures ping debug mode (for

 

IPv4).

 

 

datasize value

Specifies the size of ping data sent

 

in bytes (for IPv4) (16–4076).

 

 

HostName/ipv4address/ipv6addre

Specifies the host name or IPv4

ss

(a.b.c.d) or IPv6 (x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x)

 

address (string length 1–256).

 

 

-I

Specifies the interval between

 

transmissions in seconds (1–60).

 

 

-s

Configures the continuous ping

 

at the interval rate defined by the

 

[-I]parameter (for IPv4).

 

 

scopeid value

Specifies the circuit ID (for IPv6)

 

(1–9999).

 

 

-t

Specifies the no-answer timeout

 

value in seconds (1–120) for IPv4.

 

 

vrf <value>

Specifies the virtual router and

 

forwarder (VRF) name from 1–16

 

characters.

 

 

Using Telnet to log on to the device

Use Telnet to log on to the device and remotely manage the switch.

Procedure steps

Step Action

1From a PC or terminal, start a Telnet session by using the following command:

telnet <ipv4 or ipv6 address>

2Enter the logon and password when prompted.

--End--

Accessing the switch through the Web interface

Monitor the switch through a Web browser from anywhere on your network. The Web interface uses a 15-minute timeout period. If no activity occurs for 15 minutes, the system logs off the switch Web interface, and you must re-enter the password information.
