On the edge Fabric OS switch, make sure that the source and destination devices are properly
configured in the LSAN zone before entering the fcPing command. This command performs the
following functions:
• Checks the zoning configuration for the two ports specified.
• Generates an ELS ECHO request to the source port specified and validates the response.
• Generates an ELS ECHO request to the destination port specified and validates the response.

Regardless of the device’s zoning configuration, the fcPing command sends the ELS frame to the
destination port. A destination device can take any one of the following actions:
• Send an ELS Accept to the ELS request.
• Send an ELS Reject to the ELS request.
• Ignore the ELS request.
For details about the fcPing command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.
