Ping IPv4

Use the Ping IPv4 screen to instruct the switch to send a ping request to a specified IPv4
address. You can use this feature to check whether the switch can communicate with a
particular network host.
Subnet broadcast ping and loopback ping is not supported. The device cannot ping the
special broadcast address 255.255.255.255, the local network broadcast address, or a
reachable network broadcast address.
To configure the settings and ping a host on the network:

1. Select Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Ping IPv4.
2. In the IP Address/Host Name field, specify the IP address or the host name of the station
you want the switch to ping.
The initial value is blank. This information is not retained across a power cycle. The
maximum number of characters in a name is 160.
3. Optionally, configure the following settings:
• In the Count field, specify the number of pings to send. The valid range is 1–15.
• In the Interval (secs) field, specify the number of seconds between pings sent. The
valid range is 1–60.
• In the Size field, specify the size of the ping (ICMP) packet data to send. The valid
range is 0–65000.
• The Results field displays the result after the switch sends a ping request to the
specified address.
4. Click Apply to send the ping. The switch sends the number of pings specified in the Count
field, and the results are displayed in the Results field.
• If a reply to the ping is received, you see "Reply From IP/Host: icmp_seq = 0. time =
xx usec. Tx = x, Rx = x Min/Max/Avg RTT = x/x/x msec."
• If a reply to the ping is not received, the message: "Tx = 1, Rx = 0 Min/Max/Avg RTT =
0/0/0 msec" is displayed.
Ping IPv6
Use the Ping IPv6 screen to send a ping request to a specified host name or IPv6 address.
This checks whether the switch can communicate with a particular IPv6 station. When you
click Apply, the switch sends three pings, and the results are displayed.
