Use this command to determine
whether another computer is on the network. To use the 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. Use the interface
keyword to ping an interface by using the link-local address or the global IPv6 address of the interface. You can use a
loopback, network port, serviceport, tunnel, or physical interface as the source. Use the optional size
keyword to specify the size of the ping packet. The ipv6-address is the link local IPv6 address of
the device you want to query. Use the outgoing-interface option to specify the outgoing interface for a
multicast IP/IPv6 ping.
