Sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request message

Ping does not support loopback (pinging this switch) or broadcast addresses.
The switch must have IP configured. After transmitting the request message
to the node, the switch waits for a response. If it is received within the
specified or default timeout interval, the console displays a message
indicating that the target is "alive". If an echo response is not received within
the specified or default timeout interval, the console displays a message
indicating that the target did not respond.
VLANs: If multiple VLANs are configured, the Ping command sends requests
to the ports in the VLAN environment specified when the command prompt
was selected.
