Conﬁguring HP FDDI/9000

Verifying Remote System Conﬁguration

Once your HP FDDI/9000 software is installed, fully conﬁgured and

running, you should execute the following commands to verify LAN

hardware and software installation. See the man pages for complete

descriptions of the commands listed below.

1. View the list of remote systems you can communicate with, using a

symbolic name, by typing the following command at the HP-UX

prompt:

more /etc/hosts

2. View the conﬁgured destinations reached through gateways and the

gateways used to reach those destinations, by typing the following

command at the HP-UX prompt:

netstat -r

3. Test for link level loopback connectivity by using the station address

of the interface you want to test. Use the NMID to select the

interface. (You can obtain the station address (typically

0x080009######) from the lanscan output.) Use the following syntax:

linkloop -i <NMID> <station address>

For example:

linkloop -i 5 0x080009266C3F

4. To check that the your system can communicate with other systems,

type the ping command at the HP-UX prompt. In this example,

191.2.1.2 is the IP address of the remote system. Type [CNTRL]-C to

stop ping.

ping 191.2.1.2

5. Check the state of all FDDI hardware and interfaces. Execute the

lanscan command and verify that the Hardware State and the

Net-Interface State is UP.

lanscan

If the FDDI device ﬁle has not been created, execute the following

command:

/usr/sbin/hpfddi_init devfile
