Network Connectivity Testing

After you install the network cables, you can test network connectivity to other devices by pinging those devices. You also can observe the LEDs related to network connection and perform trace routes.

For more information about observing LEDs, refer to the appropriate Hardware Installation Guide.

The following example verifies that a RUCKUS ICX switch can reach another device through the network. 

device# ping 10.33.4.7
Note: If the device is a RUCKUS ICX switch, you can use the host name only if you have already enabled the Domain Name Server (DNS) resolver feature on the device from which you are sending the ping.

The following example issues an IPv4 traceroute.

device# traceroute 10.33.4.7
