Pinging a Remote System
This procedure instructs the switch to ping a node on your network. This
procedure is useful in determining whether an active link exists between
the switch and another network device. Note the following before
performing the procedure:
ˆ The switch where you are initiating the ping must have an IP address
and subnet mask.
ˆ The device you are pinging must be a member of the Default VLAN.
This means that the port on the switch through which the node is
communicating with the switch must be an untagged or tagged
member of the Default VLAN.
To ping a network device, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type T to select Switch Tools.
The Switch Tools Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 9 on page 47.
2. From the Switch Tools Configuration Menu, type P to select Ping
Execution.
The Ping Execution Menu is shown in Figure 11.
