Chapter 5 Network Management Using the Association Table Performing a Ping Follow these steps to ping the device described on the Station page: Step 1 Step 2 To customize the size and number of packets sent during the ping, enter the number of packets and size of the packets in the Number of Pkts. and Pkt. Size fields. Click Ping. The ping runs using the values in the Number of Pkts. and Pkt. Size fields, and a ping window appears listing the test results. To run the ping again, click Test Again. Figure 5-3 shows a ping window. Figure 5-3 Ping Window Performing a Link Test Follow these steps to perform a link test between the access point and the device described on the Station page: Step 1 Step 2 To customize the size and number of packets sent during the link test, enter the number of packets and size of the packets in the Number of Pkts. and Pkt. Size fields. Click Link Test. The link test runs using the values in the Number of Pkts. and Pkt. Size fields. OL-2159-03 Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Software Configuration Guide 5-9
