Using the Ping Function
IP Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure an IP interface for management access to
the switch over the network. This switch supports both IP Version 4 and Version 6,
and can be managed simultaneously through either of these address types. You
can manually configure a specific IPv4 or IPv6 address or direct the switch to obtain
an IPv4 address from a BOOTP or DHCP server when it is powered on. An IPv6
address can either be manually configured or dynamically generated.
This chapter provides information on network functions including:
◆
Ping
– Sends ping message to another node on the network.
◆
Trace Route
– Sends ICMP echo request packets to another node on the
network.
◆
Address Resolution Protocol
shows how to display the ARP cache.
◆
IPv4 Configuration
– Sets an IPv4 address for management access.
◆
IPv6 Configuration
– Sets an IPv6 address for management access.
Use the IP > General > Ping page to send ICMP echo request packets to another
node on the network.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆
Host Name/IP Address – IPv4/IPv6 address or alias of the host.
◆
Probe Count – Number of packets to send. (Range: 1-16)
◆
Packet Size – Number of bytes in a packet. (Range: 32-512 bytes for IPv4,
0-1500 bytes for IPv6)
The actual packet size will be eight bytes larger than the size specified because
the switch adds header information.
Command Usage
