Verifying a Switch in the Network

You can verify that a switch is communicating in the network using the Ping command. The following example successfully tests the network for a switch with IP address 10.20.11.57.

SANbox #> ping 10.20.11.57

Ping command issued. Waiting for response...

SANbox #>

Response successfully received from 10.20.11.57.

If the switch was unreachable, you would see the following display.

SANbox #> ping 10.20.11.57

Ping command issued. Waiting for response...

No response from 10.20.11.57. Unreachable.

Verifying and Tracing Fibre Channel Connections

NOTE: The Fcping and Fctrace commands require the SANdoctor license key. To purchase a license key, contact your authorized maintenance provider or authorized reseller.

You can verify Fibre Channel connections between the switch and the fabric and display routing information. Enter the Fcping command to verify a Fibre Channel connection to a switch or a device as shown in the following example. The target device can be defined as a Fibre Channel address or a WWN.

SANbox #> fcping 970400 count					3
28	bytes from local switch to				0x970400	time = 10			usec
28	bytes from	local	switch	to	0x970400	time	=	11	usec
28	bytes from	local	switch	to	0x970400	time	=	119 usec

The following is an example of a connection failure:

SANbox #> fcping 0x113344 count 3

28 bytes from local switch to 0x113344 failed
