VERIFICATION AND DIAGNOSIS

After configuring your CyberSWITCH and before proceeding with normal system operations, we suggest you verify that the system is functional. This segment of the User’s Guide provides instructions for verifying system hardware and system configuration, and then diagnosing potential problems encountered during the verification process.

We include the following chapters in this segment:

•Verifying the Base System

Hardware resources, LAN and WAN connections, bridge and/or router initialization, alternate accesses, remote device connectivity, and security

•Verifying Routing Protocols IP, IPX, AppleTalk

•Verifying System Options

SNMP, dial out, compression, reserved bandwidth, DHCP, semipermanent connections, proxy

ARP

You only need to perform the verification procedures for the protocols and/or options that apply to your configuration. For example, if your configuration does not use SNMP, skip the SNMP verification section in the Verifying System Options chapter.

To perform the verification procedures, WAN lines must be available and ready to use. LAN attachment components must also be available and ready to use.

During some of the procedures, we ask you to enter an administration console command. To enter these commands, you must have an active administration session. If you need instructions for starting an administration session, refer to Accessing the CyberSWITCH Accessing the CyberSWITCH.

Also refer to the Troubleshooting segment for a complete listing of all system and trace messages, as well as system indicator descriptions.
