Showing Connectivity Only
Use the connectivity keyword to show the Connectivity table alone:
show exports host filer [share share-path] connectivity
where the options are explained above.
CIFS access is not required for this examination, so you do not need Windows-user
credentials.
The ARX sends pings of various sizes from each proxy IP, to confirm that the
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is set consistently between each proxy IP and
the filer. If any of these pings fails (but not all of them), the filer is unusable because
some network equipment between the proxy IP and the filer has an inconsistent MTU
setting. (To change the MTU on the ARX, refer to “Enabling Jumbo Frames
(optional)” on page 3-6 of the network guide.)
For example, this command shows good connectivity to 192.168.25.20:
bstnA6k> show exports host 192.168.25.20 connectivity
Export probe of filer “192.168.25.20”
