Verifying the Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet interface can also be used to connect to the CLI of the Memory
Array. This section explains how to verify that the Ethernet connection is
operating properly.
To verify the Ethernet connection:
1.
Log in to the host computer, as
root
on a Linux host or as an
administrator on a Windows host.
2.
To retrieve the IP address of the Memory Array, do one of the following:
a.
Log into the CLI via the serial port connection (see
on page 59) and type the following command at
the command prompt:
This command returns the system’s IP address and other Ethernet
settings.
b.
Connect to your DHCP server and retrieve the IP address it assigned to
your Memory Array.
3.
Open a terminal or command line window and, at the command prompt,
type:
Where:
If the host computer can connect to the Memory Array, then it will return a
successful ping message. If it cannot connect, then a failed ping message is
returned.
You can also connect to the system via the Ethernet port using Telnet or SSH as
described in
on page 76. If you are using DHCP and DNS,
you can use the system’s name instead of the IP address to connect through the
network.
