4.3.3.4 Using watch-net and watch-net-all Commands to
Check the Network
The watch-net diagnostics test monitors Ethernet packets on the primary network
interface. The watch-net-all diagnostics test monitors Ethernet packets on the
primary network interface and on any additional network interfaces connected to
the system board. Good packets received by the system are indicated by a period (.).
Errors such as the framing error and the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error are
indicated with an X and an associated error description.
