port on the connected device, and that the receive port on Routing Switch is connected to the transmit
port on the connected device.
• Verify that the port has not been disabled through a configuration change. You can use the CLI or if you have
configured an IP address on the Routing Switch, you can use the Web management interface.
• If the other procedures don't resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

Verifying Proper Connections

After you install the network cables, you can test network connectivity to other devices by pinging those devices.
You also can perform trace routes.

Pinging an IP Address

To verify that an HP device can reach another device through the network, enter a command such as the following
at any level of the CLI on the HP device:
HP9300> 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 Command Line Interface Reference for information about its parameters.
NOTE: If you address the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses to the ping.

Tracing a Route

To determine the path through which an HP device can reach another device, enter a command such as the
following at any level of the CLI on the HP device:
HP9300> traceroute 192.33.4.7
Syntax: traceroute <host-ip-addr> [maxttl <value>] [minttl <value>] [numeric] [timeout <value>]
[source-ip <ip addr>]
The CLI displays trace route information for each hop as soon as the information is received. Traceroute requests
display all responses to a given TTL. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the HP
device displays up to three responses by default. See the Command Line Interface Reference for information
about the command syntax.

Managing the Device

You can manage an HP device using the following applications:
• Command Line Interface (CLI) – a text-based interface accessible through a direct serial connection or a
Telnet session.
• Web management interface – A GUI-based management interface accessible through an HTTP (web
browser) connection.
• SNMP network management application – An application such as HP TopTools for Switches & Hubs or HP
OpenView.

Logging on Through the CLI

Once an IP address is assigned to an interface on the HP Routing Switch, you can access the CLI either through
the direct serial connection to the device or through a local or remote Telnet session.
You can initiate a local Telnet or SNMP connection by attaching a straight-through RJ-45 cable to a port and
specifying the assigned management station IP address.
