ping
ping
This command checks if another computer is on the network and listens for connections. To
use this command, configure the switch for network (in-band) connection. The source and
target devices must have the ping utility enabled and running on top of TCP/IP. The switch
can be pinged from any IP workstation with which the switch is connected through the default
VLAN (VLAN 1), as long as there is a physical path between the switch and the workstation.
The terminal interface sends three pings to the target station.
