PING Generation

If the Ping to Address is in the Test Network Subnet, the Test IP will be used in the ping
packet. If the Test IP is not available or the Ping to Address is not in the Test Network
Subnet, the Aux IP is checked. If the Aux IP is not available or the Ping to Address is not
the Aux Network Subnet, the Manager IP is used. Any address can be used with the Man-
ager IP since it has access to the Default Gateway.
If the Ping from Address is specified as the Test IP or the Aux IP, and the Ping to Address
is not located in the matching subnet, the destination is unreachable. An error message is
displayed when the Start Pinging command is given.
3. To enter a Ping Count, type 3 and press Enter. Type a value from 1 to 255 (0 = forever).
and press Enter.
4. To enter the Ping C-. T- or S-VLAN ID, type 4, 5, or 6 and press Enter. The VLAN ID is
only writable if the Ping from Address is the Test IP, or the Aux IP if Aux Allow Any VLAN
is enabled.
5. To enter the Ping Payload Size, type 7 and press Enter. Type a value between 40 and
9950. To send packets greater than 1518 (payload size greater than 1472), the DF (Don't
Fragment) bit must be set or the packet will be fragmented (sent as multiple packets of
size 1518).
6. To change the Ping DF Bit setting, type 6 and press Enter. See the Ping Payload size for
explanation.
7. When you are finished entering values, type 7 to start pinging and press Enter. The PING
test starts (Figure 4-5).
8. When the test is complete, press Esc to return to the PING Generation screen.
NOTE: When Tunnel In-band Management Traffic (see “Configuring Tunnel Management” on
page 14) is disabled and Allow Any VLAN (see “Auxiliary IP Configuration” on page 15) is
enabled, the NID will respond to double C-Tagged ARP requests and PINGs.
