The dtcping command is used as a troubleshooting tool to perform a connection
test. dtcping is similar to the networking ping command (refer to the dtcping man
page) and dtccheckip checks for duplicated IP addresses.
The dtcdiag command performs diagnostic tasks on DTCs managed by the host.
Tasks can be done on several objects. An object can be a selected DTC, a selected
DTC and board, or a selected port on a board. The objects must be all of the same
type.
The dtcdiag command is used for the following troubleshooting and maintenance
tasks:
• resetting ports, boards, and the DTC
• reporting the status of the DTC and ports as well as the version numbers of the
DTCs
• running the DTC or port self-tests
• uploading ports and the DTC

Resetting causes a download to occur on the DTC. The download software and
configuration is sent to the DTC. An upload

is the transfer of information from the
DTC to the system.
1 Use these commands ONLY if instructed to do so by an HP engineer. Some of these commands
output data to a file which can be read only with special HP formatting tools.
2 Upload a DTC configuration ONLY if instructed to do so by an HP engineer.
