Configuring a Ping

The switch can verify its link with other switches and associated Clients 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.
