HP Vectra Integrated Ethernet Diagnostic Utility
The HP Vectra Integrated Ethernet Diagnostic Utility (HPIEDIAG.EXE) includes diagnostics
for testing the integrated LAN interface.
If the PC is supplied with a LAN disk, the HPIEDIAG utility is located in the \DIAG directory.
If the PC has preinstalled software on the hard disk, the HPIEDIAG utility is located in the
\LANDRV\DIAG directory on the hard disk.
NOTE
Do not run the HPIEDIAG utility while the LAN drivers are loaded in memory. Do
not run HPIEDIAG if the PC's power-on self test detected a problem with the
integrated Ethernet interface.
To use the Integrated Ethernet Diagnostic Utility:
1.
Insert the diskette containing the HPIEDIAG utility in drive A.
2.
Make drive A the current drive, type
A:
Press the Enter key
3.
Change to the DIAG directory, type
CD \DIAG
Press the Enter key
4.
Start the HPIEDIAG utility, type
HPIEDIAG
Press the Enter key.
The integrated Ethernet diagnostic utility detects the presence of the integrated Ethernet
interface and displays the settings of the interface (for example, the MAC address).
Interface Test
Use this option to do a quick test of the interface's hardware and configuration. During this
test, no packets are sent or received over the network, so the network cable must be
attached to the interface.
Link Test
This option tests the interface's ability to send and receive packets over the network. For
this test, the network cable must be attached to the interface.
The test sends IEEE 802.2 test packets out on the network. Another node on the network
must act as the responder. Any HP Hub Plus, HP SNMP-managed bridge, or HP router will
respond correctly. The HPIEDIAG utility automatically finds a responder on the network.
New revisions of the Diagnostic Utility are made available on the HP BBS.
