Hello All,

does anyone know how to issue a ping from the MP? Currently I can access my server via primarry lan card, but I'm unable access my MP
( console ). I checked my configuration from local attached console MP->CM->lS , and all looks fine ( up and running ) , and name, address, gw, all looks good. Before I go to network people, I just want to make sure I've all I can on my side. Seems I remember being able to issue a ping from the MP, I jsut cannot navigate back to that point. I did attempt reset the MP.

How about the other way around - can you ping your MP from a regular session on your 9000?

yes,

# ping hohp201c 64 3

Just for fun, unplug the lan cable into your MP and try the ping again. Perhaps you have a duplicated IP address on your network?
