This chapter provides instructionsfor verifying the system hardware and system configuration.You only need to perform the verification procedures for the options that apply to yourconfiguration. For example, if your configuration does not use SNMP, skip the SNMP verificationsection.To perform the verification procedures, WAN lines must be available and ready to use. LANattachment components must also be available and ready to use.During some of the procedures, we ask you to enter an administration console command. To enterthese commands, you must have an active administration session. If you need instructions forstarting an administration session, refer to Accessing the CyberSWITCH.Note: At least one remote device is required to proceed with many of the verification procedures.V ERIFYING H ARDWARE R ESOURCES ARE O PERATIONALTo verify the operation of the WAN and LAN hardware resources:1.
