Configuring PA-FE Port Adapter Interfaces 8-13
Use the show diagbus slot command to determine which type of port adapter is installed on a VIP2
in your system. Specific port adapter information is displayed, as shown in the following example of
a PA-FE-FX in interface processor slot 1:

Proceed to the next section, “Using the ping Command”, to verify that each interface port is
functioning properly.
Using the ping Command
The ping command allows you to verify that an interface port is functioning properly and to check
the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on the network. After you
verify that the system has booted successfully and is operational, you can use this command to verify
the status of interface ports. Refer to the documentation resources listed in the “Related
Documentation” section on page vi for detailed command descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends echo request packets out to a remote device at an IP address that you
specify. After sending an echo request, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to
reply. Each echo reply appears as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each request that
is not returned before the specified timeout appears as a period (.). A series of exclamation points
(!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]
indicate that the connection failed.
