If the switch is configured to advertise itself as the default gateway, a

routing protocol must still be used to determine the next hop router for any

unknown destinations, i.e., packets that do not match any routing table

entry. If another router is designated as the default gateway, then the

switch will pass packets to this router for any unknown hosts or subnets.

To configure a default gateway for IPv4, use the static routing table as

described on

and then specify this switch itself or another router as the gateway. To

configure a gateway for IPv6, see

Use the IP > General > Ping page to send ICMP echo request packets to

another node on the network.

"ping" on page 1654

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: 32-1472 bytes for

IPv4, 0-512 bytes for IPv6)

The actual packet size will be eight bytes larger than the size specified

because the switch adds header information.

Use the ping command to see if another site on the network can be

The following are some results of the ping command:

The same link-local address may be used by different interfaces/nodes

in different zones (RFC 4007). Therefore, when specifying a link-local

address, include zone-id information indicating the VLAN identifier after

753, enter 0.0.0.0 for the IP address and subnet mask,

Normal response - The normal response occurs in one to ten

seconds, depending on network traffic.

Destination does not respond - If the host does not respond, a

"timeout" appears in ten seconds.

Destination unreachable - The gateway for this destination indicates

that the destination is unreachable.

Network or host unreachable - The gateway found no corresponding

entry in the route table.
