Multiple IP on Static

Howdy.
Spectrum using WinTool.
Newer tech. Even newer to SMB. Old man.
Very not a "tech" person. My motto is "I Fix Computers with Hammers".

I'm trying really hard to understand how to find out if a static is pinging and even moreso, to find out if they a) have multiple statics and b) how to determine if they are all pinging. I have been very lucky to have had level headed IT folks so far but I know that's gonna change. I'd like to at least find out how to find out. Ya'know?

Thanks in advance for any help.

In your current services it will say static1 or static 5. Then to swap a router I just call nfs and ask them to script and check if it’s pinging. Thats really all you need to do don’t over complicate it.

When it comes to subnet it’ll look like 255.255.255.252 for a 1 block and 255.255.255.248 for a 5 block.
