Ping Device Feature Added
You can now send a Ping (ICMP or TCP Echo Request) to determine if a device is
reachable. The timeout value for the request is configured in Administration >
Options > Status Polling > Ping > Length of Ping Timeout, and the result of the
request is displayed in a pop-up dialog. Extreme Management Center installations
that are configured to run as root issue ICMP Requests, while installations that are
configured to run as users other than root will use a TCP Echo Request.
NOTE: Firewalls and server configurations can block ICMP and/or TCP requests,
which can result in an Unsuccessful Ping, even though SNMP, SSH, Telnet and
other protocols are successful.
