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 TN-5500 itself. In this way, the user can essentially sit
on top of TN-5500 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
Defined by IEEE 802.11AB, LLDP is an OSI Layer 2 Protocol that standardizes the methodology of self-identity
advertisement. It allows each networking device, e.g. a Moxa managed switch, to periodically inform its
neighbors about its self-information and configurations. As a result, all of such devices would have knowledge
about their neighbors; and through SNMP, this knowledge can be transferred to Moxa’s MXview for
auto-topology and network visualization purposes.
