Ping If you enter a host name in the corresponding Hostname field, the SLC console
manager verifies that the host is up and running. Check the Ethernet Port button
(Both, Eth1, or Eth2), and check the IPv6 box.
Note: The Ethernet Port option restricts ping transmission to both Ethernet
ports, Eth1, or Eth2. The IPv6 box should be checked if the host that is pinged
requires IPv6 addressing or routing.
Send Packet
This option sends an Ethernet packet out one of the Ethernet ports, mainly as a
network connectivity test.
Enter the following:
Protocol: Select the type of packet to send.
Hostname: Specify a host name or IP address of the host to send the packet to.
Port: Specify a TCP or UDP port number of the host to send the packet to.
String: Enter a set of up to 64 characters. The string is encapsulated in the
packet (so you could use a network sniffer to track the packet and, by looking at
its contents, verify that it was sent).
Count: The count is the number of times the string is sent.
For UDP, the number of times the string is sent is equal to the number of packets
sent.
For TCP, the number of times the string is sent may (or may not) be equal to the
number of packets sent, because TCP controls how data is packetized and sent
out.
Loopback
This option tests a Device Port by transmitting data out the port and verifying that
it is received correctly (requires the loopback cable be plugged in the Device
Port).
SLC Internals
This option displays information on the internal memory, storage and processes
of the SLC console manager.
