Testing a Link

The router provides information on network links in the event log,
statistics, routing tables, and the management information base. The
router provides three other specific link tests, Ping, AppleTalk Ping, and
Telnet, described below. Note that you can use HP network management
software to test the link; see the help screens for the software.

802.3 test from another network device.
