Verifying Management Interface Connectivity - Cisco SCE 2000 Installation And Configuration Manual

Connecting the Management Interface
If the Link LED on the SCE 2000 management port does not light, try removing the cable and reinserting
it firmly into the module socket. To disconnect the plug from the socket, press down on the raised portion
on top of the plug, releasing the latch. You should hear an audible click indicating the latch has released.
Carefully pull the plug out of the socket.
If the management port Link LED on the SCE 2000 still does not light, verify that the cable is connected
correctly to the appropriate network element on its second end.

Verifying Management Interface Connectivity

If the SCE 2000 platform has been powered up, test now to verify that connectivity has been established
between the SCE 2000 and the remote management host. If the SCE 2000 platform is not powered up,
perform this step after starting the SCE 2000 platform.
After you connect the cable to the appropriate Mng port and to your network, check the relevant Mng
Step 1
port LEDS.
There are two Mng LEDs — Link/Active, and 10/100/1000 (refer to
At this point, check that the Link/Active LED is green.
The state of the 10/100/1000 LED will depend on the Ethernet network settings.
Green indicates 100 Mbps and 'Off' indicates 10 Mbps.
Test connectivity. From the host that you intend to use for remote management, ping to the SCE 2000 by
Step 2
typing ping and the SCE 2000 IP address, and pressing Enter (see the example, below).
Note Please note that only Step 2 above, is performed from the remote management host (Mng port
connection).
This verifies that an active connection exists between the specified station and the management port.
The ping program sends an echo request packet to an IP address and then awaits a reply. Ping output can
help you evaluate path-to-host reliability, delays over the path, and whether the host can be reached or
is functioning.
EXAMPLE:
The following example displays a typical ping response where the target IP address is 10.1.1.201.
C:\>ping 10.1.1.201
pinging 10.1.1.201 ...
