Low-Level Echo Test (CMD PING)
Use the
CMD
PING
command for the lowest-level “echo” test from the LAN card at this end to the
destination server. It verifies that all the basic requirements are there, as follows:
-
Both LAN cards are there, up and running, and talking to the CPU.
-
LAN end-to-end data transfer is possible across the digital network.
-
The LAN card IP addresses are correctly configured.
This is the best tool to use to identify whether there is end-to-end connectivity across the digital network
between two Octel Overture message servers. It is especially useful to verify that IP addresses are
correctly configured.
To use the command, at the @ prompt, type
CMD x PING y
Enter
For this command,
x
is the slot number in which the LAN card is installed, and
y
is the IP address of the
device to which the test Ethernet packet is sent.
.
For additional Networking diagnostic information, refer to the Networking volume, Digital
Networking chapter, Network Maintenance and Troubleshooting section.
Port Configuration Status
Use the
LIST PORT
command to list the current configuration status for a port. At the @ prompt, type
L PO x
Enter
For this command,
x
represents the port number.
When a port is configured to use different INFORMATION Tables, only current information is displayed.
The following example shows various items that can be displayed, including those added by optional
feature packages.
