Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Installation and User's Guide

8 Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI Adapter Installation and User’s Guide • August 1997
Examining Network Activity
After you have installed the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter, but before booting
the system, verify the installation by examining the network interfaces with the
OpenBoot PROM watch-net-all command.
Make sure that the interfaces are connected to an active network.
● Examine network activity and incoming network packets by typing
watch-net-all at the ok prompt.
The watch-net-all command monitors network traffic on all network interfaces
in the system. In the example below, the watch-net-all command tests all four of
the adapter’s interfaces, two of which are connected to a network.
In addition to testing the adapter’s interfaces, the watch-net-all command may
also test other network devices on the system.
Note – The network speed is the same as the speed of the network that your system
is connected. See the section “Forcing Network Speed Between 10 Mbps and 100
Mbps” on page 16 for more detailed information about speed selection.
