Ping Test; Save Changes - D-Link DGS-3312SR Release 3.5 Manual

DGS-3312SR Stackable Gigabit Layer 3 Switch

Ping Test

PING is a small program that sends data packets to the IP address you specify. The destination node then returns the
packets to the Switch. This is very useful to verify connectivity between the Switch and other nodes on the network.
Figure 9- 5. Ping Test window
The Infinite times checkbox, in the Repeat Pinging for field, tells PING to keep sending data packets to the specified IP
address until the program is stopped.

Save Changes

The DGS-3312SR has two levels of memory; normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. Configuration changes are made
effective clicking the Apply button. When this is done, the settings will be immediately applied to the Switching software
in RAM, and will immediately take effect.
Some settings, though, require you to restart the Switch before they will take 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 retain any configuration changes permanently, click the Save Configuration button in window below.
Figure 9- 6. Save Configuration window
Once the Switch configuration settings have been saved to NV-RAM, they become the default settings for the Switch.
These settings will be used every time the Switch is rebooted.
