Running Diagnostics of your Physical Links
The NSS lets you test the physical network cables attached to Ethernet links 1 and 2 for certain fault
conditions. You must manually initiate a test to update the results shown on the
Network Diagnostics
page.
NOTE:
When you initiate a test on an Ethernet link, you take down the link for the duration
of the test. Any current user connections on the link are dropped. If you have two
links installed, any connections through the untested link remain unaffected.
To test the physical link:
1. From the
Manager Menu
, click
Network
Diagnostics.
The
Network Diagnostics
page appears.
2. Click
Test
for the cable you want to test.
After the test completes, the test results appear in the
Link Status
area. The test results also
appear on the
System Status
page. If the cable is in sufficient working condition, the link is
again accessible to your users.
