<li><span>Specify the IP address or host name of a remote interface. If you

<li><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Ping Now</span> to send the Ping. View the

responses to your Ping in the list of results.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span>Failures might indicate the following problems:</span><ul><li>TCP/IP has not been started.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The remote system is not available.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A frame size problem. The frame size on the line description should
|
||
|
|
be greater than or equal to the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the interface.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A network, router, next hop, or bridge problem.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The default route is not configured on your server.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The remote system or intermediate firewall has ICMP Echo Requests
|
||
|
|
or Replies disabled.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you have multiple IP addresses and subnets, make sure that IP datagram
|
||
|
|
forwarding is set to *YES.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If the interface you are trying to reach is configured to an Ethernet
|
||
|
|
adapter, you might need to change the Ethernet standard in the Ethernet line
|
||
|
|
description. Specify either the correct Ethernet standard or *ALL.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A DNS or host name table problem. For example, if the Ping works for
|
||
|
|
the interface's IP address but not the host or domain name, you need to check
|
||
|
|
your host table or DNS entries.</li>
