100.0.0.1

100.0.0.0

100.0.0.2

Host A

To verify IP Routing over a LAN connection:

1.Determine if the CyberSWITCH can access the local IP host. On the administration console type:

ip ping 100.0.0.2 <return>

Issuing this command will result in a response similar to the following:

100.000.000.002 is alive

If the system displays this message, then IP routing over that LAN port is operational. Repeat this step for each LAN port on your Ethernet resource.

If this message IS NOT displayed, then IP routing over the LAN connection is not operational. Refer to IP Routing Over the LAN Connection in the Problem Diagnosis chapter.

2.Once IP routing is operational on each LAN port on your Ethernet resource, then IP routing over the LAN Connection is operational.

VERIFYING IP ROUTING OVER A WAN INTERFACE

To verify that IP routing is properly operational over a WAN interface, a remote IP Host must be operational and available to initiate connections. Also, a local IP host must be connected to the local LAN port of the CyberSWITCH.

Below is an example of a configuration used to verify IP routing over a WAN interface. It uses IP addresses specific to the example. Substitute the IP addresses of your network when you perform the verification steps. It also uses the “ping” command. The “ping” command sends a packet to a specified host, waits for a response, and reports success or failure. Substitute the equivalent command on your IP host.
