LCS60 to Data Switch Verification – Loopback Test (dkcu)

Use the dkcu command to verify the connectivity between the local LCS60 and a data switch. From the LCS60 system console, use the following format:

dkcu <lcs60name>

where <lcs60name> is the name of the LCS60, itself.

As an example, refer to the network in Figure 9-2. In this example, to verify the connection between the LCS60 morse and the data switch (connection B), enter:

dkcu mlkway/earth/morse

You should get a login prompt from morse.

LCS60 to Local Ethernet Host Verification (ping)

Use the ping command to verify the connectivity between a LCS60 and an Ether- net host on the LAN attached to the LCS60. Log onto the LCS60 system console as user root. Enter the following command:

/usr/etc/ping <Ethernethostname>

where the <Ethernethostname> is the internet IP address or host name of a specified host on the same LAN as the LCS60.

As an example, refer to the network in Figure 9-2. In this example, to verify the connection between morse and topper (connection C), enter:

/usr/etc/ping topper

Proper communication is verified by continuous messages displayed on the screen.
