Verifying IP Connectivity
To verify that the switch can send and receive IP traffic, use the following command:
ping host
The ping command sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packet to the
specified device and listens for a reply packet. For host, specify the IP address of a host
device on the network.
Note:
If you configure the Domain Name Service (DNS) or set a local alias for the host
device, you can specify the DNS hostname or the alias instead of the IP address of the
device.
The following command verifies IP connectivity to IP address 10.10.20.19:
DWS-1008#
ping 10.10.20.19
