16 IP CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes how to configure an IP interface for management
access to the switch over the network. You can manually configure a
specific IP address or direct the switch to obtain an address from a BOOTP
or DHCP server when it is powered on.
This chapter provides information on network functions including:
◆ Ping – Sends ping message to another node on the network.
◆ Address Resolution Protocol – Specifies the timeout for ARP cache
entries. Also shows how to display the ARP cache.
◆ IP Configuration – Sets an IP address for management access.
USING THE PING FUNCTION
Use the IP > General > Ping page to send ICMP echo request packets to
another node on the network.
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ IP Address – IP address of the host.
◆ Probe Count – Number of packets to send. (Range: 1-16)
◆ Packet Size – Number of bytes in a packet. (Range: 32-512 bytes)
The actual packet size will be eight bytes larger than the size specified
because the switch adds header information.
COMMAND USAGE
◆ Use the ping command to see if another site on the network can be
reached.
◆ The following are some results of the ping command:
■
Normal response - The normal response occurs in one to ten
seconds, depending on network traffic.
■
Destination does not respond - If the host does not respond, a
“timeout” appears in ten seconds.
