2BUsing ping, tracert, and system debugging
Use the ping, tracert, and system debugging utilities to test network connectivity and identify network
problems.
24B
Ping
The ping utility sends ICMP echo requests (ECHO-REQUEST) to the destination device. Upon receiving
the requests, the destination device responds with ICMP echo replies (ECHO-REPLY) to the source device.
The source device outputs statistics about the ping operation, including the number of packets sent,
number of echo replies received, and the round-trip time. You can measure the network performance by
analyzing these statistics.
137BConfiguring ping in the Web interface
The Web interface does not support IPv6 ping. Support for IPv6 addresses depends on the device model.
For more information, see Network Management Configuration Guide.
To perform a ping operation:
1. Select Network > Diagnostic Tools from the navigation tree to enter the ping configuration page,
as shown in
717HFigure 2.
Figure 2 Ping configuration page
2. Enter the IP address or the host name of the destination device in the field.
3. Click Start.
