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
1 node >show ip interface
Example: Displaying IP interface information
The following example shows how to display the IP information for all interfaces by using the show ip inter-
face command from operator execution mode.

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.
Mode: Either operator or administrator execution
Step Command
node >ping ip-address

When using ping for fault isolation, you should first run it on the respective SmartNode interface to verify that
the local LAN or WAN interface is up and running. Then, you should "ping" hosts and gateways further away.
Round-trip times and packet loss statistics are computed. If duplicate packets are received, they are not
