Ping Test
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.

The user may use Infinite times radio button, in the Repeat Pinging for field, which will tell the ping program to keep sending
ICMP Echo packets to the specified IP address until the program is stopped. The user may opt to choose a specific number of
times to ping the Target IP Address by clicking its radio button and entering a number between
1
and
255
. Click

the Ping program.
