If network trouble is encountered on your IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance, then you can view additional details about the activity and
status of your Ethernet interfaces. You can view these details with
a serial connection with the appliance, but these details are also
available in the user interface.
Before you begin
You must have physical access to the appliance and be able
to log in as
xcadmin.
Procedure
- Establish a serial connection with the appliance as the xcadmin user.
The serial connection must
be between an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software
to the serial port on the appliance. If you are using a PC for the
serial console, use a PC-based serial communications program for Windows or Linux. Use either the supplied serial cable
or PL-2303 USB-to-serial cable to make the connection to the appliance.
Important: If you are using the PL-2303 USB-to-serial cable,
download and install a driver for the cable before proceeding.
The serial console settings are
9600.8.n.1.
- Display the Ethernet interface status. Use the following command to display
the Ethernet interface status:
netif status <interface>
Where <interface> is the name of
the Ethernet interface that you want to query. Example output follows:Console> netif status mgt0
