Verifying IP Routing Over Interfaces

VERIFYING IP ROUTING OVER A WAN (DIRECT HOST) INTERFACE

To verify that IP routing is properly operational over a WAN (Direct Host) 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 on the CyberSWITCH.

Below is an example of a configuration used to verify IP routing over a WAN (Direct Host) interface. It uses IP addresses specific to the example. Substitute the IP addresses of your network when you perform the IP routing 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.

The steps to verify the operation of IP routing over a WAN (Direct Host) interface are:

1.Determine if a remote IP host can access the CyberSWITCH over the WAN connection. On the remote IP host type:

ping 100.0.0.1 <return>

If the remote IP host successfully pings to the CyberSWITCH, then continue with the next step.

If the remote IP host CANNOT ping to the CyberSWITCH, refer to IP Routing over a WAN (Direct Host) Interface Connection in the Problem Diagnosis chapter.

2.Determine if a remote IP host can access the local IP host through the CyberSWITCH over the WAN connection. On the remote IP host type:

ping 100.0.0.2 <return>

If the remote IP host successfully pings to the local IP host, then IP routing over WAN (Direct Host) interface is operational. Repeat the above steps for each WAN (Direct Host) interface through which you wish to get access.

If the remote IP host CANNOT ping to the local IP host, refer to IP Routing Over a WAN (Direct Host) Interface Connection in the Problem Diagnosis chapter.
