10-4 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.

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.
