15 Basic IP Functions
This chapter provides information on network functions including:
Ping – Sends ping message to another node on the network.
Trace – Sends ICMP echo request packets to another node on the network.
Address Resolution Protocol – Describes how to configure ARP aging time,
proxy ARP, or static addresses. Also shows how to display dynamic 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.
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.
Network or host unreachable - The gateway found no corresponding entry
in the route table.
The same link-local address may be used by different interfaces/nodes in
different zones (RFC 4007). Therefore, when specifying a link-local address,
include zone-id information indicating the VLAN identifier after the % delimiter.
For example, FE80::7272%1 identifies VLAN 1 as the interface.
