Send an IPv4 Ping
You can configure the switch to send a ping request to a specified IP address. You can use
this to check whether the switch can communicate with a particular IP station. When you click
the
Apply
button, the switch sends a specified number of ping requests and the results are
displayed.
If a reply to the ping is not received, the following message displays:
Tx = Count, Rx = 0 Min/Max/Avg RTT = 0/0/0 msec
If a reply to the ping is received, the following message displays:
Reply From a.b.c.d: icmp_seq = 0. time= xyz usec.
Reply From a.b.c.d: icmp_seq = 1. time= abc usec.
Reply From a.b.c.d: icmp_seq = 2. time= def usec.
Tx = count, Rx = count Min/Max/Avg RTT = xyz/abc/def msec
To send an IPv4 ping:
1.
Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
