2. To change the Ping from Address, type 2 and press Enter. Press the Space bar to select
Test IP (if available), Mgr IP, Aux IP, or Auto Selection, and then press Enter. The Auto
Selection setting will attempt to use the Test IP first.
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).

Ping from Address is the Test IP, the Management IP, or the AUX IP, and the AUX IP
configuration has the “Allow all VLANs” flag enabled.
5. To enter the Ping T-VLAN ID, type 5 and press Enter. You can configure this setting only
if the source address (Attribute 2) is Test IP, or AUX IP, and the AUX IP configuration has
the “Allow all VLANs” flag enabled.
