Ping Test

Both this test and the stream test in Section 5.1.4 verify that your two NetXpress LX multiplexers are
communicating with each other. Use the Ping utility tool (Utilities | Ping) to send echo requests to
and receive responses from the multiplexers to verify communication between the two systems
(Figure 5-5).
Perform these steps:
1. From the Web interface of the first NetXpress LX multiplexer (System A), type the Host IP
Address of the other NetXpress LX multiplexer (System B).
2. Click Send Ping.
3. Note the PING Result, which should indicate a response from System B.
4. Repeat the previous three steps to send an echo request from System B to System A.
5.1.4 Stream Test
To assure your NetXpress LX multiplexers are sending and receiving data without issues, perform the
steps in Section 4.2.3.5 – Stream Creation to create and activate streams. Configure the streams to
run at a high packet rate to assure solid performance at high demand. Remember to configure system
timing (Section 4.2.3.6) before activating any streams.
Follow this process:
1. Create a transmission stream on one NetXpress LX multiplexer (System A).
2. Activate the new stream.
3. On the Stream Statistics table (Performance | Streams) of the Web interface (Figure 5-6),
verify that the System A stream is
• Operating (Op State=Up)
• Sending packets (Tx Packet Count)
