Testing network connectivity
After you cable the ber-optic transceivers, you can test connectivity to other network devices by pinging those devices. You also can
perform traceroutes.
Pinging an IP address
To verify that the router can reach another device through the network, enter a command such as the following at any level of the CLI.
device# ping 192.33.4.7
NOTE
If you send the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the rst four responses to the
ping.
Tracing a route
To determine the path through which the router can reach another network device, enter a command such as the following at any level of
the CLI.
device# traceroute 192.33.4.7
The CLI displays traceroute information for each hop on the route as soon as the information is received. Traceroute requests display all
responses to a given TTL. If there are multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the router displays up to three responses by default.
