Linux

To verify that the bnx2.o driver is loaded properly, enter:

lsmod

If the driver is loaded, a line similar to one Table 15 is displayed, where
size indicates the size of the driver in bytes, and n is the number of
adapters configured.

Running a Cable

Length Test

For a Windows operating systems, see “Analyzing Cables” in the
Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 User Guide for information on
running a cable length test.

Testing Network

Connectivity

This section describes how to test network connectivity for the Windows
and Linux platforms.

Note

When using forced link speeds, verify that both the adapter and the
switch are forced to the same speed, or that at least one link partner
is configured for auto-negotiation.

Windows

In the Windows platforms, use the ping command to test network
connectivity. If the new adapter is the only adapter in the system, you may
test it by having it ping another device on the network. But if the new
adapter is in a system that contains more than one adapter, you instead
should test it by pinging it from another device on your network.

Note

Network connectivity can also be tested using the “Testing

the Network” feature in the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3
User Guide
.

To determine if the network connection is working, do the following:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
