Installation
Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router
Test Node Accessibility
To verify a newly installed router, perform the Ping command on
another router and use the IP address of the router being verified as the
destination.
More complete information on Ping is on page 3-18 in this book, and in
the Operator's Reference.
N o t e
If the steps in this verification section show that network links are not
operating as desired, re-examine the configuration performed in earlier
steps. Some links and services may need further customization beyond
your initial configuration; you may need to use the Configuration Editor
to change more parameters. Refer to the Operator's Reference for
parameter information. Return to the configuration and booting steps
earlier in this chapter, and then repeat the verification steps.
Testing Node Accessibility
The NCL Ping command can be used on a router with IP routing enabled
to test whether particular routers and end nodes can be reached. Use
the specific IP address of the target. For example, to determine whether
a WAN port having the IP address of 10.100.100.1 on a remote router can
be reached from your local router, you would execute Ping as follows
from the NCL prompt:
ping 10.100.100.1
When a target is "pinged", the router waits for a response. In the above
example, if a response was received within the specified time, the con-
sole would display this message:
10.100.100.1 is alive
To send an AppleTalk Echo Protocol (AEP) request message (available
on most HP routers) to a specific AppleTalk node address, use the NCL
Atping command.
For more on Ping and Atping, refer to the Operator's Reference.
