Unix Host On A Slip Interface - Cabletron Systems MicroMMAC 22ES Installation Manual

UNIX Host on a SLIP Interface

When troubleshooting a UNIX host at the end of a SLIP network
interface, make sure
• The host is booted and functioning properly.
• The SLIP link is connected correctly.
• The Internet addresses are correct for both sides of the SLIP link.
• All Micro-CS software is installed properly on the host. See the
CSMIM2 Installation Notes.
• The erpcd daemon or tftp server, which loads the operational image
to the Micro-CS, is running.
A PC host running the XENIX operating system has both the erpcd and
slipd daemons (provided with the distribution and installed in the file
/etc) running in the background on the PC. Set the Micro-CS and the
erpcd on the load host into Set Up mode:
• For the Micro-CS, press SETUP following a reset and wait for the
monitor prompt.
• For erpcd on the load server host, as superuser, kill the erpcd program
and restart it using the -D option:
# /etc/erpcd -D
Another Micro-CS
When troubleshooting a Micro-CS configured as a load server host
• Use the CLI telnet command to access the unit and verify that it is up
and running.
• Communicate with the unit on the Ethernet using the superuser CLI
ping command. Ping is also available through the monitor command.
• Verify the unit's configuration using na or the admin command.
The CSMIM Network Administrator's Guide provides more information
on these commands.
