Verifying a Switch in the Network

You can verify that a switch is communicating in the network using the
command. The following example successfully tests the network for a switch with
IP address 10.20.11.57.
SANbox #> ping 10.20.11.57
Ping command issued. Waiting for response...
SANbox #>
Response successfully received from 10.20.11.57.
If the switch was unreachable, you would see the following display.
SANbox #> ping 10.20.11.57
Ping command issued. Waiting for response...
No response from 10.20.11.57. Unreachable.

Verifying and Tracing Fibre Channel Connections

NOTE:
The Fcping and Fctrace commands require the SANdoctor license key. To
purchase a license key, contact your authorized maintenance provider or
authorized reseller.
You can verify Fibre Channel connections between the switch and the fabric and
display routing information. Enter the
connection to a switch or a device as shown in the following example. The target
device can be defined as a Fibre Channel address or a WWN.
SANbox #> fcping 970400 count 3
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 10 usec
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 11 usec
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 119 usec
The following is an example of a connection failure:
SANbox #> fcping 0x113344 count 3
28 bytes from local switch to 0x113344 failed
