Understanding Virtual Chassis Device Reachability Testing
You can use a Virtual Chassis device reachability test to verify that the connections that connect the Virtual Chassis member devices together are functioning properly. You typically use a device reachability test to verify host reachability and connectivity within a Virtual Chassis.
A Virtual Chassis device reachability test sends ping packets from one member of a Virtual Chassis to another member of a Virtual Chassis directly through the Virtual Chassis connections. The receiving Virtual Chassis member sends reply packets to confirm receipt of the ping packets from the sending device. The results of the test provide information that is helpful in verifying connectivity between Virtual Chassis member devices.
