Testing the Configuration
Testing the Ethernet Connection
After you have configured the IP address(es) for the Ethernet interface, test for connectivity between the
switch and a host. The host can reside anywhere in your network. To test for Ethernet connectivity, use
the following user EXEC command:
For example, to test Ethernet connectivity from the switch to a workstation with an IP address of
172.20.40.201, enter the command ping ip 172.20.40.201. If the switch receives a response, the
following message displays:
Switch# ping ip 172.20.40.201
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.20.40.201, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/202/1000 ms
Confirming the ATM Connections
Use the ping atm interface command to confirm that the ATM connections are configured correctly:
Switch# ping atm interface atm 3/0/0 0 5 seg-loopback
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending Seg-Loopback 5, 53-byte OAM Echoes to a neighbour,timeout is 5 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms
