Verifying Connectivity

Verifying Connectivity
It is important to test the switch IP configuration. You can use the “big three” tests of Ping,
Traceroute, and Telnet on all IOS-based switches and the 4000 and 6000 as well.
4000 Series Set-Based Switch
Use the IP utilities Ping, Telnet, and Traceroute to test the switch in the network as follows:
Terry_4000> (enable) ping 172.16.10.10
172.16.10.10 is alive
Terry_4000> (enable) telnet ?
438 Chapter 13  Connecting the Switch Block
Usage: telnet <host> [port]
(host is IP alias or IP address in dot notation: a.b.c.d)
Terry_4000> (enable) traceroute
Usage: traceroute [-n] [-w wait] [-i initial_ttl] [-m max_ttl] [-p dest_port]
[-q nqueries] [-t tos] host
[data_size]
(wait = 1..300, initial_ttl = 1..255, max_ttl = 1..255
dest_port = 1..65535, nqueries = 1..1000, tos = 0..255
data_size = 0..1420, host is IP alias or IP address in
dot notation: a.b.c.d)
