ERIFICATION
Verifying Bridge is Initialized
4. Transmit a test packet onto the Ethernet LAN. At the administration console type:
lan test
<return>
This command will display a message similar to the following:
LAN port 1 Transmit was successful
If the system displays this message, then the test packet was transmitted correctly.
If this message IS NOT displayed, then the LAN connection failed. Refer to LAN Attachment in
the Problem Diagnosis chapter.
VERIFYING BRIDGE IS INITIALIZED
To verify that bridging has initialized properly:
1. Determine if the bridge is in the forwarding state by viewing the system messages. At the
administration console type:
dr
<return>
2. The
dr
command displays the current system messages. Look for the following LAN adapter
messages among the system messages:
LAN Port <port #> is now in the LISTENING state
LAN Port <port #> is now in the LEARNING state
LAN Port <port #> is now in the FORWARDING state
Note: Other messages may also be displayed with these LAN messages.
If you see these bridge initialization messages, then bridging is operational. If these bridge
initialization messages are NOT displayed, refer to Bridge Initialization in the Problem Diagnosis
chapter.
VERIFYING IP ROUTER IS INITIALIZED
To verify that IP routing has initialized properly:
1. View the system messages. At the administration console type:
dr
<return>
2. Look for the following IP message among the system messages:
[IP] IP router is initialized successfully
3. For each IP interface that has been configured, the following interface initialization message
should be displayed among the system messages.
[IP] Network initialized successfully on ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd
Note: Other messages may also be displayed with the IP router initialization messages.
If you see these IP router initialization messages, then the IP router is operational. If these IP
router initialization messages are NOT displayed, refer to IP Routing Initialization in the Problem
Diagnosis chapter.
