System Diagnostics

4 - 3

To view the networking configuration and status of the 4350 proceed to the

Network Information page as follows:

1.

Select System.

2.

Select System Overview.

3.

Select Network Information.

The following networking information is displayed:

Routing Information

The system routing table contains the static routes for hosts and networks that

are configured on the 4350. If just the LAN and WAN IP addresses have been

configured there will be four lines displayed:

The private subnet will be associated with the LAN interface.

A public subnet present for the WAN interface.

An entry for the 4350 loopback interface

The 4350’s default gateway forwarding to the WAN interface
Additional lines may be displayed depending on the contents of the Route and

VoIP Subnet Routing pages. Each of the entries on these pages will cause an

additional entry in the routing table.

Link Status

Link Status displays the status of the ethernet interfaces. Ethernet

autonegotiation is often unreliable, especially between different vendors or

old and new networking equipment. Failure of autonegotiation is generally

not a cause for concern. However, if the negotiated rates change intermittently

or the link is reported as down or no link, the link rate may need to be set

manually on the Set Link Rate page. Intermittent data and voice outages may

be caused by link flapping when the two endpoints of the Ethernet cable

cannot reach agreement using autonegotiation. If the link rate is set manually,

ensure that the device at the far end of the connection can communicate at the

desired rate. Incompatible rates can cause a loss of communication with the

4350.
Link status for the Ethernet ports is displayed via the LEDs adjacent to each

physical port.

Interface Information

The specific status and configuration information for the system interfaces is

displayed in the Interface Information section. HDLC0 shows the interface

statistics for the T1/E1 WAN link. ETH0 shows the interface statistics for the

internal LAN interface between the 4350 processor and the built-in LAN

switch. Interface statistics for the external LAN ports are not displayed.
