Ethernet SNMP Module Installation and Reference Guide ( J2603B) 1995-10

PIng
To test the path between the hub and another device that responds
to IP packets. The hub sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
Echo Request (Ping) packets to another node with the specified IP address
and waits for Echo Response packets in return.
When you run the Ping command, you will be prompted for:
the IP address of the destination device (in the format X.X.X.X)
the number of packets to send
the timeout value (the number of seconds to wait for a response)
If any errors are reported during this test, there may be a fault in the path
used during the test or in the destination device. For more information about
testing network links, see chapter 3, “Troubleshooting”.
POrt <port> <ON|OFF>
To enable
(
set to ON
)
or disable
(
set to OFF
)
a hub port. The initial
setting for all ports is enabled (ON). You can use the Status command to
check the current status of all the ports. The <port> parameter can be:
for hubs with 24 ports or more, a twisted-pair port group letter (A, B,
C, or D) followed by a number.
for hubs with less than 24 ports, a twisted-pair port number only.
XCVR or XC for the Xcvr port
THINLAN or TH for the ThinLAN port
ALL or AL for all ports
Example 1:
PO A1 OFF (This disables port A1.)
Example 2:
PO A OFF (This disables all the twisted-pair ports in group A.)
Example 3:
PO 7 OFF (This disables port 7 on an eight port hub.)
Example 4:
PO XC OFF
(This disables the AUI/Xcvr port.)
Example 5:
PO THINLAN OFF (This disables the ThinLAN port.)
Example 6:
PO AL ON (This enables all of the ports.)
