8.6 Configuring a Ping

The switch can verify its link with other switches and associated MUs by sending ping packets to the
associated device. Use a ping to test the connection between the switch and IP destinations you specify. For
each ping packet transmitted, statistics are gathered for the round-trip time (RTT) between the switch and
its destination. The RTT is the time (in milliseconds) for a ping packet to travel from the switch to its target
destination and back again. This number can vary significantly due to the random nature of packet routings
and random loads on the switch and its destination.
