Testing Network Connectivity
Guidelines
Windows
This section describes how to test network connectivity for Windows and
Linux networks.
Here are guidelines to the adapter and switch settings:
When you are using the fiber optic port or a Gigabit SFP, both the
adapter and the switch must be set to Auto-Negotiation.
When using a 100Mbps SFP, the adapter must be set to
Auto-Negotiation. The switch may work at Auto-Negotiation, or
may need to be set to 100Mbps with the full duplex mode,
depending on the switch.
To test the network connectivity for the Windows driver software, perform
the following procedure.
Use the ping command to determine if network connectivity is working.
1. Click the icon at the left bottom corner of the Windows.
2. In the search box, type cmd and click OK.
3. Type ipconfig /all
The command window opens, as shown in Figure 52.
