ping
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. 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.

are terminated and the boot code executes. The switch uses the stored configuration to initialize
the switch. You are prompted to confirm that the reset should proceed. A successful reset is

copy
This command uploads and downloads to/from the switch. Local URLs can be specified using tftp
or xmodem. The following can be specified as the source file for uploading from the switch:
startup configuration (nvram:startup-config), error log (nvram:errorlog), message log
(nvram:msglog), trap log (nvram:traplog) and configuration script(nvram:configscript
<scriptname>). A URL is specified for the destination.
The command can also be used to download the startup configuration, code image or configuration
script by specifying the source as a URL and destination as nvram:startup-config, .system:image
or nvram:configscript respectively.
The <scriptname> is the name of the script file to be uploaded. During download of a
configuration script the copy command will validate the script being downloaded. In case of any
error, the command will list all the line at the end of validation process and confirm from user for
copying the script file.
