    Ping

    Ping

    The ping command sends data packets to a specific IP address on a network, and then lets you know how long it took to transmit that data and get a response. This is used to determine reachability of the FortiSwitch to other devices on the internal or external Internet. You can conduct a ping test to an IP/domain from a FortiSwitch for troubleshooting, reachability and other network connectivity issues. The ping tool uses ICMP protocol packets to connect to a specified host. Both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts are supported.
