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:
ˆ The switch must have an IP address and subnet mask.
ˆ The device to be pinged by the switch must be a member of the
Default VLAN. It must be communicating with the switch through an
untagged or tagged port of the Default VLAN.
To instruct the switch to ping a network device, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Tools folder, select Ping.
The Ping Page is shown in Figure 63.
