A simple guide to PING diagnostics is given below:
Problem What
to
check
Solution
Local Ping test fails
Ethernet Connectivity:
Is the green link light on the V100
Ethernet illuminated?
The V100 Ethernet port is
configured as a hub-port –
use a standard cable to
directly connect to the
station, or a cross-over cable
to connect to a hub.
IP network configuration on V100 &
Station:
Are the V100 ENET port and the station
configured on the same IP subnet?
Correct the configuration
V100 connectivity:
Are other services operating between the
V100s?
Standard V100 connection
troubleshooting
IP Subnet config on V100:
Does Node1 have a subnet configured to
Node 2 with a peer matching Node 2’s
channel ID?
Does Node 2 have a subnet configured
to Node 1 with a peer matching Node 1’s
channel ID?
Are the DBAs configured at something
other than 0?
Are the IP addresses for the
unnumbered links set the same for the
local ENET port?
Correct configuration
Inter-V100 Ping test
Fails
IP Route Configuration on V100:
Is the NoRoutes count in the IP
STATISTICS page incrementing?
Is there an IP Route to get to Node 2 on
Node 1?
Is there an IP Route to get to Node 1 on
Node 2?
Add Routes
Remote Ping Test fails
IP Route Configuration on Station:
Does the station have a route configured
that will ensure the ping request to the
remote V100 node goes through the
local V100 node?
Add correct route to Station
Full Ping test fails
IP Route Configuration on Stations:
Does Station A have an IP route
configured that will ensure that packets
for Station B are routed through Node 1?
Does Station B have an IP route
configured that will ensure that packets
for Station A are routed through Node 2?
Add correct route to Station
