Verifying the End-to-End Path

After installation of a remote site unit, run an IP Ping test to ping the NMS at the central site and verify that the entire path from the remote unit to the NMS is functioning. To run the IP Ping test, NMS trap managers must have been configured for the remote unit.

One of those trap managers must be the central site NMS.

Procedure

1.Select the IP Ping test.

Main Menu Test IP Ping

2.Enter the IP Address of the device being pinged, then select Start.

NOTE:

When running tests, the cursor is positioned over the Start command. Press Enter to start the test. Stop is displayed while the test is running. Press Enter again to issue the Stop command.

While the test is running, In Progress... appears in the Status field.

When the test is finished, Alive. Latency = nn ms should appear as the Status (nn being the amount of time the test took in milliseconds).

If any other message is displayed, additional testing will be required. See Device Messages in Operation and Maintenance of the User’s Guide for information about IP Ping-related messages.
