Pinging An Ip Address; Observing Leds - Foundry Networks FES2402 Installation Manual

Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the FES, FESX, and FWSX

Pinging an IP Address

To verify that a Foundry device can reach another device through the network, enter a command such as the
following at any level of the CLI on the Foundry device:
FastIron>ping 192.33.4.7
Syntax: ping <ip addr> | <hostname> [source <ip addr>] [count <num>] [timeout <msec>] [ttl <num>] [size <byte>]
[quiet] [numeric] [no-fragment] [verify] [data <1-to-4 byte hex>] [brief]
See the Foundry Switch and Router Command Line Interface Reference for information about the parameters.
NOTE: If you address the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses to the ping.

Observing LEDs

After you install the network cables, you can observe certain LEDs to determine if the network connections are
functioning properly. Table 4.2 outlines the LEDs related to the network connections, the desired state of each
LED, possible abnormal states of each LED, and what to do if an LED indicates an abnormal state.
