Net - Nortel 5399 Hardware Installation Manual

net

The net command executes an Ethernet transceiver loopback test on the
local area network. The command syntax is:
net
When you enter the net command, you are prompted for the segment as
shown in the following example:
monitor:: net
Enter Segment to be used (1-6) [1]: 1
This transceiver loopback test sends out a short test packet from the
Remote Access Concentrator through the transceiver to test the integrity
of the network.
The Ethernet transceiver loopback test causes the Net LED to turn off. If
the unit passes this test, the service port terminal displays PASSED, as
shown in the following example.
monitor:: net
Enter Segment to be used (1-6) [1]: 1
Network test - PASSED
If the Remote Access Concentrator fails, the service port terminal
displays an error message. Failing this test indicates that either the Remote
Access Concentrator or the Ethernet is bad.
