Pinging an IP

Pinging uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo facility to
send an ICMP echo request packet to the IP station you specify. It then
waits for an ICMP echo reply packet. Possible responses from pinging:

A network is unreachable when there is no route to that network.
To ping an IP station:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip ping
2 Enter the IP address of the station you want to ping.
