Test Name Enter a short name for the ping test to describe either the target destination of the
ping packet or the ping test’s expected result. Use the name provided in
combination with the ping test description to convey the overall function of the test.
Description Ensure the description is representative of the test, as this is the description
displaying within the Configuration tab.
Destination IP Enter the IP address of the target device. This is the numeric (non DNS address)
destination for the device transmitted the ping packets.
No. of Probes Define the number of ping packets transmitted to the target device. This value
represents the number of packets transmitted to the target IP address to discern
the round trip time between the switch and its connected device.
Timeout(sec) Configure the timeout value (in seconds) used to timeout the ping test if a round
trip packet is not received from the target device. Ensure this interval is long
enough to account for network congestion between the switch and its target
device.
Frequency Define the interval (in seconds) between ping packet transmissions. Define a
longer interval if high levels of network congestion are anticipated between the
switch and its target device. Use a value of 0 to execute a single ping test or stop a
currently running ping test.
