Pinging a Remote System
This procedure instructs the switch to ping a node on your network. This
can be useful in determining whether an active path exists between the
switch and another network device. Note the following before performing
this procedure:
Note
The switch must have a routing interface on the local subnet from
where it is pinging the end node. The switch uses the IP address of
the interface as its source address when pinging the device. For
background information on routing interfaces, refer to the AT-S63
Management Software Features Guide.
To instruct the switch to ping a network device, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the home page, select Monitoring.
2. From the Monitoring menu, select the Utilities option.
3. Select the Ping Client tab.
The Ping Client tab is shown in Figure 3.
