port.
Output data stream

STEP 2
Be sure to activate your settings before exiting.
When using the Web Browser interface, activate by clicking on the Activate button.
When using the Console utility, activate by first highlighting the Activate menu option, and then press
Enter. You should receive the Mirror port settings are now active! (Press any key to continue)
message.
Ping
The Ping function uses the ping command to give users a simple but powerful tool for troubleshooting network
problems. The function’s most unique feature is that even though the ping command is entered from the user’s
PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from IKS-6726 itself. In this way, the user can essentially sit
on top of IKS-6726 and send ping commands out through its ports.
To use the Ping function, type in the desired IP address, and then press Enter from the Console utility, or click
Ping when using the Web Browser interface.
LLDP Function Overview
LLDP is an OSI Layer 2 protocol defined by IEEE 802.11AB. LLDP standardizes the self-identification
advertisement method, and allows each networking device, such as a Moxa managed switch, to periodically
send its system and configuration information to its neighbors. Because of this, all LLDP devices are kept
informed of each other’s status and configuration, and with SNMP, this information can be transferred to Moxa’s
MXview for auto-topology and network visualization.
