Figure 52. Using the ping utility
If the target computer cannot be located, you will receive the message
“Request timed out.”
Using the ping command, you can test whether the path to the switch is
working (using the pre-configured default LAN IP address 192.168.1.1) or
another address you assigned.
You can also test whether access to the Internet is working by typing an
external address, such as that for www.yahoo.com (216.115.108.243). If you
do not know the IP address of a particular Internet location, you can use the
nslookup command, as explained in the following section.
From most other IP-enabled operating systems, you can execute the same
command at a command prompt or through a system administration utility.
