When debugging connectivity problems, a ping only indicates low-level
connectivity. If an external ping works but higher-level applications such as DCS,
CMS, or INTUITY do not, then you can only assume that there is connectivity to
the board. Interrogate the switch for other clues as to why the higher-level
application is not working.
The ping command the following qualifiers:
■ ‘‘ping ip-address’’
■ ‘‘ping node-name’’
■ ‘‘ping board’’
■ ‘‘ping packet-length’’
