This chapter provides information on network functions including:
Ping – Sends ping message to another node on the network.
Trace Route – Sends ICMP echo request packets to another node on the
network.
Address Resolution Protocol – Describes how to configure proxy ARP or static
addresses, and how to display entries in the ARP cache.
Using the Ping Function
Use the Tools > Ping page to send ICMP echo request packets to another node on
the network.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Host Name/IP Address – Alias or IPv4/IPv6 address of the host.
Probe Count – Number of packets to send. (Range: 1-16)
Packet Size – Number of bytes in a packet. (Range: 32-512 bytes for IPv4,
0-1500 bytes for IPv6)
The actual packet size will be eight bytes larger than the size specified because
the switch adds header information.
Command Usage
Use the ping command to see if another site on the network can be reached.
The following are some results of the ping command:
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.
