Chapter 6 Installing and Removing a Shared Port Adapter

Checking the Installation

Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity

This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. The ping command allows you to verify

that a SPA port is functioning properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected

devices at various locations on the network. After you verify that the system and the MSC have booted

successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify the status of the SPA ports. Refer

to the publications listed in the “Related Documentation” section on page -viii for detailed command

descriptions and examples.

The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After

sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals.

Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is

not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points

(!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]

indicate that the connection failed.

Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60:

Router# ping 10.1.1.60 <Return>

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.60, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms

Router#

If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server is

active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.

SPAs are shipped with an accessory kit that includes cable management brackets. Figure 6-4 shows

cable management brackets installed in a SPA, as well as cable routing.
