2 Troubleshooting Switched
Ethernet Connectivity
This chapter assumes that it has been verified that the connectivity problem is across Ethernet media and
the connection between the non-communicating devices is switched/bridged not routed (i.e., Devices are
in the same IP Subnet).
For configuration assistance in designing and configuring switched Ethernet connectivity, please refer to
the “Configuring Ethernet Ports” chapter in the appropriate OmniSwitch Network Configuration Guide.
For known specifications and limitations, Please refer to the appropriate Release Notes Revision.
