VERIFYING ROUTING PROTOCOLS

OVERVIEW

This chapter describes the verification process for the following CyberSWITCH routing protocols:

•IP Routing

•IPX Routing

•AppleTalk Routing

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.

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

IP ROUTING OPERATIONAL?

IP ROUTING OVER A LAN INTERFACE

To verify that IP routing is operating properly over the LAN connection, an IP host must be connected to the local LAN port on the CyberSWITCH. The host must be properly configured and operational on the IP network to which it is connected.

Below is an example of a configuration used to verify IP routing over a LAN connection. It uses IP addresses specific to the example. Substitute the IP addresses of your network when you perform the IP routing verification steps.
