tests” (page 49)).
• If ifconfig does not show the UP parameter as output for the gateway, enter netstat -i
to check the status of network interfaces. An asterisk (*) indicates that the interface is down.
If the network interface is down, configure the interface up and repeat the bridge/gateway
test. If all interfaces are up, perform the configuration tests (“Flowchart 8: Configuration tests”
(page 49)) and test all interfaces on the gateway.
