Verify SP Switch Router Adapter card from router

This section describes tools available from the SP Switch Router system software to check out newly-installed media cards. These tools are to be used on the SP Switch Router.

•The ping command tests whether an SP Switch Router Adapter media card can process and return a message.

•The grcard command tells you the operating state of an installed SP Switch Router Adapter card.

•The grreset command allows you to reset all or an individual card.

Note: Output from logs and other system reporting functions refer to the SP Switch Router Adapter card as DEV1 or dev1.

Verify media card operation using ping

Check SP Switch Router Adapter media card viability using the ping command. This UNIX command is modified to support SP Switch Router board components. This use of ping only tests internal communication between the SP Switch Router control board and the specified media card. It does not test message routing between media cards or communication between media cards and external devices.

Note: The ping command does not disturb normal SP Switch Router operations.

The ping -P grid <slot number> command sends a message to a specified SP Switch Router Adapter card asking the card to respond back with another message.

1Log in as root to the SP Switch Router.

2Enter a ping -P grid command to send a ping from the control board. Specify the appropriate media card by its chassis slot number.

For example, to act on the SP Switch Router Adapter media card in slot 3, enter:

# ping -P grid 3

This is what you see when the media card responds:

68 bytes from 0:0x3:0: time=0.293 ms

68 bytes from 0:0x3:0: time=0.251 ms

68 bytes from 0:0x3:0: time=0.288 ms
