593.0. "Testing DECconcentrators/DECbriges info?" by SOLVIT::VALCOURT () Tue Jun 02 1992 11:59

    Hello,
    
       Tried looking for related information to my question, but couldn't
    find anything.
    
       Anyway, I need to do a go/no-go test for DECconcentrator 500s and
    DECbrige 610s configured in a system.  This test needs to only verify
    if the 500s and 610s are on-line and working?  Does anyone have an idea
    how this can be done?  I guess pinging the various nodes being
    connected by this equipment can be done?  Any other testing
    suggestions?
    
       This system will be running under ULTRIX 4.2A 
    
        thanks for your help,
          Ken

    You could set an IP address, and do a quick ping to the DECbridge, or
    use ELMS, and get all kinds of data from it.  I am using MSU on an
    Ultrix 4.2 DECstation 5200.  We have two Synoptics concentrators, and five
    DB600.  I am pinging everything for GO-NOGO positive map icon status.

    Is there any other way to test the DECconcentrator and the DECbridge
    using basic ULTRIX commands (i.e. assuming DECelms/MSU, etc. not
    installed on the system)?
    
             thanks,

I have a program which you can use query the SYSID (V3 or V4) of the device, do
802/Ethernet loopback test, get the MOP counters (V3 or V4 -- understands
FDDI), and XID/TEST queries.

[It's my general purpose tester for ULTRIX DLI]
