Conﬁguring and Verifying HP EISA and HSC FDDI/9000

Verifying Remote System Conﬁguration

Once your HP EISA FDDI/9000 or HSC FDDI/9000 software is installed,

fully conﬁgured, and running, you should execute the following

commands to verify LAN hardware and software installation. See the

online HP-UX manual reference pages for complete descriptions of the

commands listed below.

1. View the list of remote systems you can communicate with, using a

symbolic name, by typing the following command at the HP-UX

prompt:

more /etc/hosts

2. 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

3. Test for link level connectivity. First, use lanscan on the local system

to obtain the PPA of the interface you want to test. Then, use

lanscan on the remote system to obtain the remote station’s address.

Finally, use the linkloop command on the local system with the

following syntax:

linkloop -i <PPA><remote station address>

For example:

linkloop -i 5 0x080009266C3F

4. To check that your system can communicate with other systems, type

the ping command at the HP-UX prompt. In this example, 191.2.1.2

is the IP address of the remote system. Type [CNTRL]-C to stop ping.

ping 191.2.1.2

5. HP EISA FDDI/9000 or HSC FDDI/9000 installation is veriﬁed if the

steps above succeed. If the above steps do not succeed, go to chapter 5,

“Troubleshooting.”
