Menu: Administration>Ping a remote system
The ping command enables you to test if an end system can be
reached by sending it an Internet control message protocol (ICMP)
echo request. If the system is connected to the network, it sends a
reply to the requesting system.
1. Select Administration>Ping a remote system to see
the following display :
Figure 4-2 Ping Menu
2. Specify the system with one of the following methods:
❑ By its user-assigned name, enclosed in single quotes, in the
format ‘name’
❑ By its IP address, in the format x.x.x.x
❑ By its Ethernet (or MAC) address, in the format xxxxxx xxxxxx
The switch’s MAC address is printed above the switch’s RS232
management port on the front panel. The activity monitor
reports the results of the ping command, shown in Figure 4-3
