xStack® DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch Ping Test Ping is a small program that sends ICMP Echo packets to the IP address you specify. 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. IPv4 Ping Test The following window is used to Ping an IPv4 address. To view this window, click Administration > Ping Test > IPv4 Ping Test, as shown below: Figure 2- 42. IPv4 Ping Test window This window allows the following parameters to be configured to ping an IPv4 address. Parameter Description Target IP Address Enter an IPv4 address to be pinged. Domain Name Enter the domain name of the host. Repeat Times Either click the Infinite times radio button or enter the number of times to attempt to ping the IPv4 address configured in this window. Users may enter a number between 1 and 255. Timeout Source IP Address Select a timeout period between 1 and 99 seconds for this Ping message to reach its destination. If the packet fails to find the IPv4 address in this specified time, the Ping packet will be dropped. Tick the check box and enter the source IP address of the ping packets. If specified, this IP address will be used as the packets' source IP address that ping sends to the remote host. Click Start to initialize the Ping program. 44
