Check Network Connectivity

Purpose

Establish that the router has network connectivity.

Action

To check that the router has network connectivity, issue a ping command to a system on the network:

root@> ping address

If there is no response, verify that there is a route to the address using the show route command. If the address is outside your fxp0 subnet, add a static route. Once the backup configuration is loaded and committed, the static route is no longer needed and should be deleted.
