Ping
Ping is a small program that sends ICMP Echo packets to the IP address you specify. The destination node then
responds to or “echoes” the packets sent from the Switch. This is very useful to verify connectivity between the Switch
and other nodes on the network.

address until the program is stopped.
Timeout:
