Performing Diagnostics 13 - 5
Physically Locating a Unit (Find)
Use the find option to blink the amber indicators of the Bridge on and
off. Find a unit you can telnet to if you are not sure of it’s exact loca-
tion. Type “CTRL-C” to stop the command.
Sending a Ping Packet (Ping)
Use the ping option to test infrastructure connectivity from the Bridge to
other IP nodes. The ping option sends an ICMP echo_request packet to a
user-specified remote node. If the remote node receives the packet it will
also respond with an ICMP echo_response packet.
The Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge will send the echo_response packet
and wait 3 seconds for a response. If none is received, another echo
packet is sent. This is repeated up to five times. If a response is received
and a message is displayed, the command disappears from the screen.
Type “CTRL-C” to stop the command.
