ChorusOS 5.0 System Administrator's Guide

Testing the Interface

Once you think the interface is configured properly, verify that the Ethernet connection is working:


$ rsh target ping host_IPv4_address
host_IP_address is alive

or


$ rsh target ping6 host_IPv6_address
host_IP_address is alive

Another way of verifying that the Ethernet connection is working is to use ifconfig. See "ifconfig".
