Displaying Ip Interface Information; Testing Connections With The Ping Command - Patton electronics SmartNode Series Software Configuration Manual

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
Example: Configuring an interface as a point-to-point link
The following example shows how to define interface lan as point-to-point link. Use the following commands
in configuration mode.
SN(cfg)#context ip router
SN(ctx-ip)[router]#interface lan
SN(if-ip)[lan]#point-to-point

Displaying IP interface information

SmartWare contains the show ip interface command, which displays IP information for all interfaces. The
command is available in operator execution mode or in any of the administrator execution modes.
Mode: Operator execution or any administrator execution
Step Command
node >show ip interface

Testing connections with the ping command

As an aid to diagnosing basic network connectivity, many network protocols support an echo protocol. The
protocol involves sending a special datagram to the destination host, then waiting for a reply datagram from
that host. Results from this echo protocol can help in evaluating the path-to-host reliability, delays over the
path, and whether the host can be accessed or is functioning.
