Enter the IP address of the TFTP server and the path and file name for the history
log on the TFTP server. Highlight APPLY and press Enter to make the changes
current. Highlight START and press Enter to initiate the file transfer.
Ping Test
To test the connection with another network device, highlight Ping Test on the
Switch Utilities menu and press Enter.
Enter the IP address of the network device to be pinged and the number of test
packets to be sent (three is usually enough). Highlight START and press Enter to
initiate the Ping test.
Note: The Ethernet switch module will issue Ping Requests through the internal
Ethernet link to the management module and optionally, through the external
Ethernet ports. When Ping Requests are issued on both of these paths, it is
likely that one or more Pings will not reach the intended destination through
one of these paths. Through the management module path, the Ethernet
switch module can only Ping IP addresses that are on the same IP subnet
as the IP addresses of the Ethernet switch module and management
module.
Network Monitoring
The switch module provides extensive network monitoring capabilities.
To display the network data compiled by the switch, highlight Network Monitoring
on the main menu and press Enter.
