Note: The Ethernet switch module will issue Ping Requests through the internal
Ethernet link to the management module and optionally, through the external
Ethernet ports. When Ping Requests are issued on both of these paths, it is
likely that one or more Pings will not reach the intended destination through
one of these paths. Through the management module path, the Ethernet
switch module can only Ping IP addresses that are on the same IP subnet
as the IP addresses of the Ethernet switch module and management
module.
Network Monitoring
The switch module provides extensive network monitoring capabilities.
To display the network data compiled by the switch, highlight Network Monitoring
on the main menu and press Enter.
