Pinging a device

Pinging a device
When 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. When the switch
receives the reply, a message indicates that the specified IP address is responding. If no reply is
received, a message indicates that the address is not responding.
