6.2 Test TCP/lP Networks Using Ping

To systematically verify connectivity, power up the Router and observe the messages on the console. Establish a PPP connection on your WAN interface, using the update now command. If CHAP or PAP hasn’t failed, then perform the “ping” tests. The ping tests provide a minimal set of results that can be used to help verify network connectivity and resolve problems.

To perform all of the ping tests, you will require the help of an associate at the remote site. If an associate is not available, then you can perform the first four ping tests.

On the diagram, circle the test numbers if the ping is successful, and record the IP addresses and subnet masks used. If desired, fax these two completed diagrams to your technical-support person.

For more information, refer to ping in Section 4.10 of the Reference Guide, which begins on page 137. If you perform all of the steps here and still have problems, refer to Appendix C of this manual.
