Use the Ping Host task in Monitor mode to determine whether an EX Series host can be reached over the network from the device selected in the network tree. Entering a hostname or an address creates a periodic ping task that sends a series of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo (ping) requests to the specified host. The output of the task displays in the Response Console.
The Ping from Device to a Host task is available only for EX Series switches and QFX Series switches in your network.
