After you add an Emulated LAN to an adapter and configure the interface, you need to check to ensure that the filer can communicate with other clients through the Emulated LAN. The easiest way to do this is to ping another LANE Client on the Emulated LAN to ensure that information is traveling out through the ATM adapter and back again.
To ping a LANE Client, or any other client, complete the following step.
| 1 |
ping host host is the IP address of the computer to which you want to send an ICMP ECHO_REQUEST datagram. |
The following command sends the datagram to host 204.125.14.45, and waits for a response:
ping 204.125.14.45
If the host responds, ping prints "host is alive." Otherwise, ping resends the ECHO_REQUEST once a second. If the host does not respond after 20 seconds, ping prints the following output:
no answer from host.
