Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router

 

 

E. Verify Router Initialization

 

 

 

 

N o t e

 

The following is an overview of router initialization. For more on

 

 

verification tests, refer to the User’s Guide for your router.

 

 

Earlier in the startup process it is normal to verify proper router hard-

 

 

ware operation. (See ‘‘Plug in and verify the router hardware’’ on page

 

 

1-22.) Then, after you configure and boot the router, you should verify

 

 

that the following two conditions exist:

 

 

 

The network links are operational

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All networks can be reached by the router

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While verifying initialization, you can save steps by operating from the

 

 

Network Control Language Interpreter (NCL). To begin, select NCL from

 

 

the Main menu by pressing [2].
