The follow sections provide methods of verifying that the IP Host Mode has properly initialized
and that the feature is operational.
V ERIFYING IP H OST IS I NITIALIZED
If you have configured the IP feature in the Host mode, follow the steps below to verify that it has
initialized properly.
1. Determine if IP Host has been initialized by viewing the system messages. To view the
messages, enter the following command:
dr <return>
2. Look for the following IP message among the system messages:
[IP] IP Host is initialized successfully
3. For the IP Interface that has been configured, the following interface initialization message
should be displayed among the system messages:
[IP] Network initialized successfully on ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd
Note: Other messages may also be displayed with the IP router initialization messages.
If you see these IP host initialization messages, then the IP host is operational.
If these IP host initialization messages are NOT displayed, refer to IP Host Initialization of the
Problem Diagnosis chapter.
V ERIFYING IP H OST M ODE IS O PERATIONAL
The following two sections provide a method to verify that the IP Host mode feature is operational.
To verify that IP Host mode feature is properly operational, a remote IP Host must be operational
and available to initiate WAN connections via a remote bridge device. Also, a local IP host must be
connected to the local LAN port on the CyberSWITCH.
Each section below uses example entries to verify IP Host mode operation. IP addresses are specific
to the examples. Substitute the IP addresses of your network when you perform the IP Host mode
feature verification steps. Each section also uses the
ip ping command. The ip ping command
sends a packet to a specified host, waits for a response, and reports success or failure. Substitute the
equivalent command on your IP host.
V ERIFYING IP H OST M ODE O PERATION OVER A LAN CONNECTION
The steps to verify the operation of IP Host mode feature over a LAN connection are:
1. Determine if the CyberSWITCH can access the local IP host. Type:
ip ping 100.0.0.2
