Pinging a Remote System
This procedure instructs the switch to ping a node on your network. This
function can establish whether a valid link exists between the switch and
another device. Note the following before performing the procedure:
ˆ The switch must have an IP address.
ˆ The device to be pinged must be a member of the switch’s
management VLAN, meaning it must be communicating with the
switch through an untagged or tagged port of the management VLAN.
To ping a network device, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Home Page, select Monitoring.
2. From the Monitoring menu, select Utilities.
3. Select the Ping Client tab.
The Ping Client tab is shown in Figure 7.
