Provisioning the Ethernet-VBN switches and ports 7-15
Software Release 2.30 YesWare Applications User’s Guide 08-01016-01
Procedure 7-2 (continued)
Verifying the Network Architecture
The Database Validation screen presents the results of the verification for the
YesWare Ethernet switch and port settings shown in Table 7-5.
At the bottom of the screen, the Switch Diagram of the provisioned system
architecture shows the relationship between different IP addresses on the
YesWare network with a description of the address, the status, and location
of the ports.
Note: If you verify the system architecture after provisioning each switch in
the hierarchy, you may encounter errors resulting from downlink switches that
have not been defined yet. Continue configuring switches and their
associated ports until the hierarchy is complete and no errors are
encountered.
If any errors are encountered, no network traffic will pass.

Validation
Item
Description
Switch
hierarchy
Displays the results (passed or failed) of the switch hierarchy
verification. Switch hierarchy verification failure can result
from a variety of reasons. The two primary causes of failure
include provisioning an upstream switch as a downlink, and
provisioning an Ethernet switch on the YesWare Server
subnet upstream from the YesWare Server.
Port count Displays the results (passed or failed) of the port count
verification.
Port use
context
Displays the results (passed or failed) of the port use
verification. Port use verification failure is caused by mis-
provisioning the Port Use Context field of the Port
Configuration dialog.
Switch
availability
Displays the results (passed or failed) of the switch availability
verification. Switch availability verification failure indicates a
provisioned switch is not responding.
Port
duplication
Displays the results (passed or failed) of the duplicate ports
verification. Duplicate ports verification failure indicates two or
more ports have identical configurations.
