Pinging a Remote
Device
This function is used to validate the existence of an active path between
the switch and another network node. The switch can ping a device if
there is a routing interface on the local subnet from where it reaches the
device. In previous versions of the AT-S63 Management Software the
device to be pinged had to be reached through the management VLAN of
the switch. This restriction no longer applies. A remote device can be
pinged from any subnet of the switch that has an interface.
