This command checks if another computer is on the network and listens for connections. To use
this command, configure the switch for network (in-band) connection (as described in the

np
2402/4802 Hardware User Guide). The source and target devices must have the ping
utility enabled and running on top of TCP/IP. The switch can be pinged from any IP workstation
with which the switch is connected through the default VLAN (VLAN 1), as long as there is a
physical path between the switch and the workstation. The terminal interface sends, three pings to
the target station.
