Before proceeding with an SNMP management session, use the following steps to validate the Ethernet
connection through your Local Area Network (LAN) to the Wide Bank.
Figure 11-1 SNMP Link
1. Verify that the IP cable is connected to the LAN.
2. From your computer or Network Management Station (NMS), send a Ping request toward the
Wide Bank. For example:
ping 192.168.20.10
Pinging 192.168.20.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.20.10: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
3. Verify that the Wide Bank replies to the Ping request, as in the example above.
4. Now validate that your management station can be seen by the Wide Bank. Use the Wide Bank
CLI ping command to send a Ping request toward the NMS. For example:
(A:Active)> ping 192.168.20.30
Pinging 192.168.20.30 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.20.30: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
