Chapter 7: Verification

This chapter contains information about how to verify that your provisioning procedures result in a
functional switch.

Pinging an IP device

You can ping a device to test the connection between a switch and another network device. After
you ping a device, the switch sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packet to the
target device. If the device receives the packet, it sends a ping reply. After the switch receives the
reply, a message appears that indicates traffic can reach the specified IP address. If the switch does
not receive a reply, the message indicates the address does not respond.
