Verifying the End-to-End Path
After installation of an FrameSaver NNI unit, run an IP Ping test to ping the NMS at the
central site and verify that the entire path from the remote unit to the NMS is
functioning. To run the IP Ping test, NMS trap managers must have been configured for
the remote unit. One of those trap managers must be the NOC NMS.
If trap managers were not configured, proceed to
on page 14 and run a Connectivity test.
1. Select the IP Ping test.
Main Menu
→
Test
→
IP Ping
2. Enter the IP Address of the device being pinged, then select Start.
NOTE:
When running tests, the cursor is positioned over the Start command.
Press Enter to start the test. Stop is displayed while the test is running.
Press Enter again to issue the Stop command.
— While the test is running, In Progress . . . is displayed in the Status field.
— When the test is finished, Alive. Latency =
nn ms should appear as the
Status (
nn being the amount of time the test took in milliseconds).
If any other message is displayed, additional testing will be required. See

Messages in Chapter 11, Displaying System Information, for information about IP
Ping-related messages.
