| Host Name Or IP address | Select this option and enter the host name or IP address that you want to ping.
If you enter a value in the Host Name or IP Address field, you must select IPv4 or IPv6, or both. If you select both IPv4 and IPv6 and run the ping command, the Ping Results Web page displays the ping results for both the networks. |
| IPv4 | Select this check box if the system has IPv4 connectivity.
By default, the system selects this check box. |
| IPv6 | Select this check box if the system has IPv6 connectivity.
The system displays this option only if the system has IPv6 connectivity.  Important The IPv6 Address field is limited to a specific customer set and not for general use. |
| Do not look up symbolic names for host addresses | Select this check box to ping the server by using an IP address.
If you do not select this check box, the system looks up symbolic names for the host addresses. The system uses the domain name server that translates the IP address to a symbolic name. The ping command fails if the domain name server is unavailable. |
| Bypass normal routing tables and send directly to a host | Select this check box to ping a local host on an attached network.
You must select this check box to bypass the routing table and ping a local host through an interface that has no route. If the host is not on a network, the ping is unsuccessful. The system displays an error message. |
| Use alternate interface ____ as the source | The system displays this field only if you selected IPv6 in the Host Name Or IP Address area.
Select an alternate Ethernet interface as the source from the list. The system uses the selected interface to run the ping command. |
