6. Use the command:

linkloop -i <PPA> <remote_station_address> (for 11.x)

linkloop -i <NMID> <remote_station_address> (for 10.20)

to verify connectivity of the local node and the remote node. The PPA

(Physical Point of Attachment) is the numeric portion of the interface

name, NMID is the Network Management ID. In this example it is

an HP-UX 11.0 system and lan1 is being tested, so specify 1 as the

PPA.

hpme:root> linkloop -i 1 0x0060B0445566

Link connectivity to LAN station: 0x0060B0445566

-- OK

7. Check to ensue that the ability to communicate with other systems

via IP can occur:

ping <remote_IP_address>

NOTE If the adapter is attached as a DAS directly to a dual ring, be sure to

ping each of the other nodes in the ring to ensure that a “twisted

Ring” does not exsist. In a twisted ring topology, the A and B ports

are not properly cross-connected and two logical rings are created.
