5.3 Ping
IP Ping is a basic connectivity test that verifies whether a specific IP address can be reached. It sends a
set of ICMP echo requests to an IP address and reports whether replies are successfully received. The
request is sent via the active interface of the unit and requires that routable IP information is assigned to
that interface. For more information, see IP Network Setup on page 5-1.
