CHECK ETH PORTS 1 TO 3
Note that it is not necessary to test Eth port 0. This was testing during the flashing process.
Access to the CLI (Command Line Interface) – this can be achieved:
Through the serial port @115200 bps
Via a telnet or SSH connection
Via the “execute a command” page of the web user interface.
And issue the following command:
ID
And check that the router is in “port isolate mode”:
Digi TransPort WR44v2-U800-DE2-XX Ser#:205017 HW Revision: 5201a
Software Build 05d6a82. Sep 28 2012 02:32:19 LW
ARM Bios Ver 6.80 v45 800MHz B995-M1003-F80-O0,0 MAC:00042d0320d9
Power Up Profile: 0
Async Driver Revision: 1.19 Int clk
Wi-Fi Revision: 2.0
Ethernet Port Isolate Driver Revision: 1.11
Firewall Revision: 1.0
EventEdit Revision: 1.0
Timer Module Revision: 1.1
If the router is not in Port Isolate Mode, then issue the following commands:
ethvlan
reboot
Configure ETH ports 1 to 3 with a valid and free IP address on the same subnet as your test PC, e.g.
eth
1
ipaddr 10.1.208.5
1
eth
2
ipaddr 10.1.208.5
2
eth
3
ipaddr 10.1.208.5
3
From your PC, first clear the ARP table, from the windows command prompt and issue this command:
arp –d *
Then check that you can ping all three address.
If it is not possible to ping all three addresses and if you repeat this test on a known good WR44v2 and
all three addresses respond to pings, please request an RMA with code “ETH X test failed” where X is
the Eth port number that failed to respond.
