Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide
- Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and
reachable from other networks.
• Link Local Interface—If the IPv6 address type is Link Local, select from
where it is received.
• Host IP Address/Name—Address or host name of the device to be pinged.
Whether this is an IP address or host name depends on the Host Definition.
• Ping Interval—Length of time the system waits between ping packets. Ping
is repeated the number of times configured in the "Number of Pings" field,
whether the ping succeeds or not. Choose to use the default interval or
specify your own value.
• Number of Pings—The number of times the ping operation is performed.
Choose to use the default or specify your own value.
• Status—Displays whether the ping succeeded or failed.
Click Activate Ping to ping the host. The ping status is displayed and another
message is added to the list of messages, indicating the result of the ping
operation.
View the results of ping in the Ping Counters and Status section of the page.
Traceroute discovers the IP routes along which packets were forwarded by
sending an IP packet to the target host and back to the switch. The Traceroute
page shows each hop between the switch and a target host, and the round-trip
time to each such hop.
Click Administration > Traceroute. The Traceroute page opens.
Configure Traceroute by entering information into the following fields:
• Host Definition—Select whether hosts are identified by their IP address or
name.
• IP Version—If the host is identified by its IP address, select either IPv4 or
IPv6 to indicate that it will be entered in the selected format.
