NOTE: You cannot mirror a fast port onto a slower port. For example, if you try to mirror the traffic from
a 100 Mbps port onto a 10 Mbps port, this can cause throughput problems. The port you are
copying frames from should always support an equal or lower speed than the port to which you
are sending the copies. Please note a target port and a source port cannot be the same port.
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.
To view this window, click Monitoring > Ping Test as shown below:
The user may click the Infinite times radio button, in the Repeat Pinging for field, which will tell the ping program to
keep sending ICMP Echo packets to the specified IP address until the program is stopped. The user may opt to
choose a specific number of times to ping the Target IP Address by clicking its radio button and entering a number
between 1 and 255.
The fields that can be configured are described below:
