Cabletron Systems CSX100 series User Manual - Test Ip Routing

ISDN Router

Step 7. Reboot the Router and PC

After storing the configuration, you will be asked if you wish to reboot the

router.

⇒

 Click Yes to confirm.  A message window will inform you that router

rebooting is occurring.

⇒

 Click Exit to leave Configuration Manager.

If you are using IPX routing, bridging, or DHCP, you may need to also reboot

PC clients so they can locate the new network segment or settings.

Step 8. Verify the Router Configuration

Before you proceed with testing your router configuration, verify your ISDN

settings as follows:

⇒

 In Port Monitor, are the two channels in “ standby”?

⇒

 If you have a POTS router, do you hear a dial tone when picking up the

phone handset?

Test IP Routing

Test IP Routing over the Local Ethernet LAN

Use the TCP/IP ping command or similar method to contact the

configured target router specifying the Ethernet LAN IP address.

If you cannot contact the router:

•

 Verify that the IP address and subnet mask are correct

•

 Check cable connections and pinning

Test IP Routing to a Remote Destination

You can verify IP connectivity to the remote by running a ping command

from a local LAN-connected PC.  You will probably find a ping utility

bundled with your TCP/IP stack.  In Windows 95 and Microsoft's TCP/IP

32-bit stack for Windows for Workgroups, the command is called

PING.EXE and can be found in your Windows directory.

Note: Before using the ping command to troubleshoot, make sure that

the PWR, LINE, and NT1 lights are green.
