Is It Working?

2.3 Is It Working?

If the MSS appears to be working and the unit is connected to the network, there are three ways to conÞrm that it is working correctly:

¥If there is a terminal attached, press the Return key and log in. If you are able to log in, the server is running normally.

¥If an IP address has been conÞgured for the MSS (see IP Address ConÞguration on page 3-2), ping the MSS from a TCP/IP host.

unix% ping 192.0.1.233

When you are satisÞed that the MSS is working properly, proceed to Chapter 3, Getting Started. If the server does not boot properly, see Appendix B, Troubleshooting.
