Chapter 3: Installation

3.6BACKPLANE TEST

Once the EMM-E6 has been installed in the network environment, you may wish to test the operation of the Ethernet bridging functionality and the EMM-E6’s connection to the chassis backplane. Again, you can use two workstations set up as file server and client. See Figure 3-11.

1.After the EMM-E6 is installed in the MMAC, connect the client workstation to the EMM-E6 EPIM 1 port.

2.Connect the server workstation to another Ethernet MIM that is accessible from an Ethernet channel in the MMAC-FNB hub.

3.Send packets between the two workstations to verify the proper operation of the EMM-E6. A “ping” test will send packets from one station to another.

If a failure occurs, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support.
