Verifying Management Interface Connectivity

If the SCE 1000 platform has been powered up, test now to verify that connectivity has been
established between the SCE 1000 and the remote management host. If the SCE 1000 platform is
not powered up, perform this step after starting the SCE 1000 platform.
To verify that connectivity has been established between the SCE 1000 and the remote
management host, complete the following steps:
After you connect the cable to the appropriate Mng port and to your network, check the relevant
Step 1
Mng port LEDS.
There are two Mng LEDs — Link/Active, and 10/100/1000 (refer to Front Panel).
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.
Step 2
Test connectivity. From the host that you intend to use for remote management, ping to the SCE
1000 by typing ping and the SCE 1000 IP address, and pressing Enter (see the example, below).
Please note that only step 2 above, is performed from the remote management host (Mng port
Note
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.
This completes the procedures for connecting the management interfaces and for initial
configuration of the SCE 1000 platform. Proceed to the next chapter for a description of the
procedures for cabling the Gigabit Ethernet ports and for configuring Gigabit Ethernet (GBE)
interface parameters.
