# Ping an IP interface

Unisphere supports the option to ping an IP interface.

## About this task

- Front-end support for 25 GbE iSCSi enables users to deploy 25 GbE networks as a data center network backbone. This feature makes iSCSi a real option for future growth and scalability as throughput demands increase and enables users to implement a lower-cost SAN for converged and virtualized workloads. iSCSI benefits include the ability to provision virtual machines with iSCSI storage directly through virtual switches, bypassing the management operating system completely and reducing I/O path overhead.
- 25 GbE SRDF is also supported. This option reduces CAPEX (fewer ports and cables) and reduces OPEX (lower power, cooling, and smaller footprint requirements).

To ping an IP interface:

## Steps

1. Select the storage system.
2. Do one of the following:
   - Select SYSTEM > iSCSI+NVMe and click IP Interfaces within the iSCSI tab.
   - Select SYSTEM > iSCSI+NVMe and click IP Interfaces within the NVMe tab.
   - Select SYSTEM > Hardware, click the RDF Directors tab, select a director, click and select the number next to IP Interfaces.
   .
3. Select an IP interface and click Ping Remote IP.
4. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address.
5. View the Ping report dialog to see the results of the ping operation.
6. Click CLOSE.
