a. View the list of remote systems you can communicate with by

typing the following command at the HP-UX prompt:

more /etc/hosts

b. View the conﬁgured destinations reached through gateways and

the gateways used to reach those destinations by typing the

following command at the HP-UX prompt:

netstat -r

To verify that you can communicate with a remote system via the

Token Ring product, continue to “Step 3: Verifying the Installation.”

Step 3a: Verifying the installation on systems running HP-UX

version 10.20 and earlier

Once your Token Ring software is installed, fully conﬁgured and

running, you should run the following commands to verify hardware and

software installation. Refer to the on-line man pages for complete

descriptions of the commands listed below.

1. To check that the link is working, run the linkloop command.

In this linkloop example, 5 is the Network Management ID (NMID)

of your Token Ring card and 0x100090000222 is the station address

of a local or remote node. (You can obtain the NMID and the local

station address from the lanscan command.)

linkloop -i 5 0x100090000222

Token Ring installation is veriﬁed if linkloop succeeds to the local

station address. You canfurther verify the link by doing the following

steps.
