Installation
Verify router initialization and configuration.

Test node accessibility.

Use NCL's Ping command to test that specific IP routers or end nodes
can be reached. Ping can be used on a router with IP routing enabled to
test particular end nodes and routers that run IP. Use the specific IP
address of the target. To verify a newly installed router, perform the Ping
command on another router and use the IP address of the router being
verified as the destination.
To send an AppleTalk Echo Protocol (AEP) request message to a
specific AppleTalk node address, use NCL's Atping command.
For more complete information on Ping, refer to page 3-18 in this
manual, and to chapter 16 of the Operator's Reference.
If the steps in this verification section show that network links are not
operating as desired, re-examine the configuration performed in earlier
steps. Some links and services may need further customization beyond
your initial configuration; you may need to use the Configuration Editor
to change more parameters. (For information about using the Configura-
tion Editor, refer to chapter 4 of the User's Guide; for information about
the parameters and their defaults, refer to part I, "Dictionary of Configu-
ration Parameters", of the Operator's Reference.) Return to the
configuration and booting steps earlier in this chapter, and then repeat
the verification steps.
