Confirming a Successful DSC 8000 Network Configuration

After configuring the IP addresses for the Ethernet interfaces on the DSC 8000, you must confirm that the Ethernet interfaces are configured and responding correctly and that the system is accessible from the network. You can ping the DSC 8000 to confirm network connectivity.

If you ping the system and there is no response, check the following:

• It is possible that the system you are searching for is not running. To make sure that your system is functioning properly, try to send a ping to a system that you know is running and to which you have network access.
  
  
• You may have the incorrect IP address configured for the Ethernet interface.
  
  
• Your network may use NAT. This mechanism converts internal IP addresses before broadcasting them to public LANs.
  
  
• Make sure that there is no firewall that is stopping the connection between your system and the destination you are attempting to communicate with.
