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. This topic explains how to 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
mgt0 generic MTU:1500 flags:UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST
inet addr:127.0.0.1 mask:255.255.255.128

Results
After completing these steps, you have reviewed the available
status details for the Ethernet interfaces on your appliance.
