With the Global Console attached to the Global Manager, you issue an on-demand remote ping for the target router, switch, or VRF object by using one of the server tools that are listed in Remote ping server tools. The server tools are available, from the target object’s pop-up menu, in the Topology Browser Console, the Notification Log Console, or the Map Console.
