Ping Test

Ping is a small program that sends ICMP Echo packets to a specified IP address. The destination node then responds to or
"echoes" the packets sent from the Switch. This is very useful to verify connectivity between the Switch and other nodes
on the network.
The user may use Infinite times radio button, in the Repeat Pinging for: field, which will tell the ping program to keep
sending ICMP Echo packets to the specified IP address until the program is stopped. The user may opt to choose a specific
number of times to ping the Target IP Address by clicking its radio button and entering a number between 1 and 255.
Click Start to initiate the Ping program.

Save Changes

The xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Switch Series has two levels of memory, normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM.
Configuration changes are made effective clicking the Apply button. When clicked, the settings will be immediately
applied to the switching software in RAM, and will immediately take effect.
Some settings, though, require restarting the Switch before taking effect. Restarting the Switch erases all settings in RAM
and reloads the stored settings from the NV-RAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all setting changes to NV-RAM before
rebooting the switch.
To permanently retain any configuration changes, click on the Save button in the Save Changes page, as shown below.
The Switch has three levels of save, which are as follows:
Parameter
Save (Only save
config)
Save Log (Only save
log)
Save All (Save config
and log)
These settings will be used every time the Switch is rebooted. See the Reset section for more information on changing
configurations saved to NV-Ram.
