Once your 100VG-AnyLAN/9000 software is installed, fully configured and running, you should run the following commands to verify 100VG-AnyLAN hardware and software installation. Refer to the online man pages for complete descriptions of the commands listed below.

  1. To check that the link is working, enter the linkloop command at the HP-UX prompt. In this example, 5 is the Network Management ID (NMID) of your 100VG-AnyLAN card and 0x080009266C3F is the station address of a local or remote node. (You can obtain the NMID and the local station address from the lanscan command.)

    linkloop  -i 5 0x080009266C3F

    100VG-AnyLAN/9000 installation is verified if linkloop succeeds. You can further verify the link by doing the following steps.

  2. To check that the network connection is working, enter the ping command at the HP-UX prompt. In this example, 191.2.1.2 is the configured IP/Internet address of the remote system.

    ping 191.2.1.2
  3. To view information about the station address, hardware state, and network interface state of your 100VG-AnyLAN card, enter the lanscan command at the HP-UX prompt as shown in the example below:

    lanscan
  4. To show the number of packets sent or received, and any link errors, enter the netstat -i command at the HP-UX prompt as shown below:

    netstat  -i
  5. To show the status of the 100VG-AnyLAN interface, enter the lanadmin diagnostic command at the HP-UX prompt. For example:

    lanadmin 

    After entering the utility, enter the following lanadmin menu commands in sequence to show the status of the 100VG-AnyLAN device with the NMID of 5.

    lana
    lannmid 5
    display

    To exit the utility, enter:

    quit

    Refer to appendix A for a description of the lanadmindisplay fields.
