Quickstart
Testing the connections
Figure 3-12. Testing the WAN by dialing into and out from the MAX
To test the WAN connection, proceed as follows:
1
Configure the routes of a host that is on the same LAN as your MAX so that your MAX is
the gateway to the remote unit. The most common method is to add static routes.
For example, if the remote unit address is 167.34.9.23, and the your MAX address is
165.3.45.8, the gateway configuration on the remote unit would be:
–
Address:
167.34.9.23
–
Gateway address:
165.3.45.8
You can also make your MAX the default router.
2
From the local host, enter the Telnet or Ping command with an argument specifying the
remote unit.
If you use Telnet, and the remote unit’s user interface display appears, the MAX is
functioning properly and you are finished with this chapter.
If you use Ping, and a message informs you that you are immediately receiving a return
packet for every packet you are sending to the remote unit, the MAX is functioning
properly and you are finished with the chapter.
If you are not getting the proper response, the procedure has failed. The problem might be
with the LAN or with your configuration. Verify the configuration of the Ethernet profile.
You can also refer to the Troubleshooting chapter of the Administration Guide for your
MAX.

Terminate the Telnet or Ping session.
