VERIFYING THE BASE SYSTEM

OVERVIEW

This chapter describes the verification process for the base system. It includes the verification process for:

hardware resources

WAN lines

LAN connections

bridge initialization

routing initialization

remote device connectivity

multi-level security

IP Host Mode

alternate accesses

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.

Note: At least one remote device is required to proceed with many of the verification procedures.

HARDWARE RESOURCES OPERATIONAL?

WAN ADAPTER INITIALIZED?

1.At the system prompt, enter the dr command to display current system messages. At the administration console type:

dr <return>

2.For each WAN adapter installed, look for these WAN adapter initialization messages among the system messages:

Bootstrap loaded on WAN card in slot <slot #>, waiting for response Bootstrap came alive on WAN card in slot <slot #>

Downloading WAN card in slot <slot #> with operational software Waiting for WAN card in slot <slot #> to complete initialization WAN card in slot <slot #> signals it is operational

If you see these WAN adapter initialization messages, then the WAN adapter in the indicated slot is operational. You may continue with the verification of the LAN adapter.

3.If these WAN adapter initialization messages are NOT displayed, and you see one of the following error messages, you may have a problem:
