Verifying Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity
Once the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are connected with valid IP addresses, verify the interface connectivity on each switch. Ping the IP host using the IP address of the host to verify that the static IP route is configured correctly.
Note If the connection fails, verify the following, and ping the IP host again:
- The IP address for the destination (IP host) is correctly configured.
- The host is active (powered on).
- The IP route is configured correctly.
- The IP host has a route to get to the Gigabit Ethernet interface subnet.
- The Gigabit Ethernet interface is in theupstate.Copyright 2010-2013, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.
