8.6 Configuring a Ping
The switch can verify its link with other switches and associated MUs by sending ping packets to the
associated device. Use a ping to test the connection between the switch and IP destinations you specify. For
each ping transmitted by the switch, statistics are gathered for the round-trip time (RTT) between switch and
destination. The RTT is the time in milliseconds for a ping packet to travel from the switch to its target
destination and back again. This number can vary significantly because of the random nature of packet
routings and random loads on the switch and its destination.
