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.
Ping Displays the results of the ping. If a reply to the ping is not received, you will see
No Reply Received from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, otherwise you will see Reply
received from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: (send count = 3, receive count = n).
Click the Apply button to initiate the ping.

Trap flags
This panel displays trap conditions. When the condition identified by an active trap is encountered
by the switch, a trap message will be sent to any enabled SNMP Trap Receivers and a message will
be written to the trap log. Cold and warm start traps are always enabled.
