Pinging a Remote System
This procedure instructs the switch to ping a node on your network. This
procedure is useful in determining whether an active link exists between
the switch and another network device. Note the following before
performing the procedure:
 The switch where you are initiating the ping must have
an IP address.
 The device you are pinging must be a member of the
Default VLAN. This means that the port on the switch
through which the node is communicating with the
switch must be an untagged or tagged member of the
Default VLAN.
To ping a network device, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Tools menu, select Ping.
The Ping Test Configuration page opens, as shown in Figure 69.

Timeout Value
Specifies the length of time in seconds the switch waits for a response
before assuming that a ping has failed. The default is 3 seconds.
