remote-ping Configuration Examples 
ICMP Test 
Network requirements 
An Switch 4200G serves as the remote-ping client. A remote-ping ICMP test between the switch and 
another switch uses ICMP to test the round trip time (RTT) for packets generated by the remote-ping 
client to travel to and back from the destination switch.
