xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual Ping Test Ping is a small program that sends ICMP Echo packets to a specified IP address. The destination node then responds to or "echoes" the packets sent from the Switch. This is very useful to verify connectivity between the Switch and other nodes on the network. Figure 10- 25. Ping Test The user may use Infinite times radio button, in the Repeat Pinging for: field, which will tell the ping program to keep sending ICMP Echo packets to the specified IP address until the program is stopped. The user may opt to choose a specific number of times to ping the Target IP Address by clicking its radio button and entering a number between 1 and 255. Click Start to initiate the Ping program. Save Changes The xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Switch Series has two levels of memory, normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. Configuration changes are made effective clicking the Apply button. When clicked, the settings will be immediately applied to the switching software in RAM, and will immediately take effect. Some settings, though, require restarting the Switch before taking effect. Restarting the Switch erases all settings in RAM and reloads the stored settings from the NV-RAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all setting changes to NV-RAM before rebooting the switch. To permanently retain any configuration changes, click on the Save button in the Save Changes page, as shown below. Figure 10- 26. Save Changes screen The Switch has three levels of save, which are as follows: Parameter Save (Only save config) Description Clicking the radio button for this entry will save only the current switch configuration to NV-RAM. Save Log (Only save Clicking the radio button for this entry will save only the current log file to NV-RAM. log) Save All (Save config Clicking the radio button for this entry will save both the current switch configuration and log) and the current log file to NV-RAM. These settings will be used every time the Switch is rebooted. See the Reset section for more information on changing configurations saved to NV-Ram. 303

Ping Test
Ping is a small program that sends ICMP Echo packets to a specified IP address. The destination node then responds to or
"echoes" the packets sent from the Switch. This is very useful to verify connectivity between the Switch and other nodes
on the network.
Figure 10- 25. Ping Test
The user may use Infinite times radio button, in the
Repeat Pinging for:
field, which will tell the ping program to keep
sending ICMP Echo packets to the specified IP address until the program is stopped. The user may opt to choose a specific
number of times to ping the
Target IP Address
by clicking its radio button and entering a number between 1 and 255.
Click
Start
to initiate the Ping program.
Save Changes
The xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Switch Series has two levels of memory, normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM.
Configuration changes are made effective clicking the
Apply
button
.
When clicked, the settings will be immediately
applied to the switching software in RAM, and will immediately take effect.
Some settings, though, require restarting the Switch before taking effect. Restarting the Switch erases all settings in RAM
and reloads the stored settings from the NV-RAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all setting changes to NV-RAM before
rebooting the switch.
To permanently retain any configuration changes, click on the
Save
button in the
Save Changes
page, as shown below.
Figure 10- 26.
Save Changes screen
The Switch has three levels of save, which are as follows:
Parameter
Description
Save (Only save
config)
Clicking the radio button for this entry will save only the current switch configuration to
NV-RAM.
Save Log (Only save
log)
Clicking the radio button for this entry will save only the current log file to NV-RAM.
Save All (Save config
and log)
Clicking the radio button for this entry will save both the current switch configuration
and the current log file to NV-RAM.
These settings will be used every time the Switch is rebooted. See the
Reset
section for more information on changing
configurations saved to NV-Ram.
