EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions
3-87
Ping
The Ping function uses the ping command to give users a simple but powerful tool for
troubleshooting network problems. The function’s most unique feature is that even though the
ping command is entered from the user’s PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from
the EDS-510A itself. In this way, the user can essentially control the EDS-510A and send ping
commands out through its ports.
To use the Ping function, type in the desired IP address, and then press Enter from the Console
utility, or click Ping when using the Web Browser interface.
LLDP Function Overview
Defined by IEEE 802.11AB, LLDP is an OSI Layer 2 Protocol that standardizes the methodology
of self-identity advertisement. It allows each networking device, e.g. a Moxa managed switch, to
periodically inform its neighbors about its self-information and configurations. As a result, all of
the devices would have knowledge about each other; and through SNMP, this knowledge can be
transferred to Moxa’s MXview for auto-topology and network visualization.
