Troubleshooting Routers
6-14
If the attempts to ping fail, verify that you configured the router with the
correct IP network, interface, and subnet addresses.
Endstation Can Ping Local and Remote Interfaces on the Router, but Cannot Ping a
Remote Station
Do the following:
1. Ping the device on each link in the path between the source and
destination to determine the location of the problem.
2. Make sure that the “next hop” for each network points to the correct
interface.
3. Ping from the remote station to the local station.
This verifies that each router in the path not only has a route to the remote
segment but also has a path back to the originator of the ping request.
Troubleshooting Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
If the router cannot reach a network or host, determine whether the entry is in the
routing table.
If the entry is in the routing table, determine whether the next hop and metric are
correct.
If the entry is not in the routing table, do the following:
1. Determine whether the router enabled RIP.
2. Set RIP Listen on the RIP interface.
3. Determine whether a RIP station on an attached network is sending RIP
packets.
4. Use Packet Capture or a network analyzer to capture the RIP packets
and verify the accuracy of the advertisements from other RIP stations.
Note: Use the Site Manager or Technician Interface “path” option when
pinging the remote station. This option provides the same functionality as
traceroute does on a UNIX workstation.
