Interface Test Link Test Exit Program 1 Setting Up the Network Connection Running HPIEDIAG Use this option to do a quick test of the interface's hardware and configuration. During this test, no packets are sent or received over the network, so the network cable does not have to be attached to the interface. It is recommended that you use this option any time you change the interface's configuration. The test takes very little time to run and provides the most complete verification that the interface's hardware and configuration are correct. This option tests the interface's ability to send and receive packets over the network. For this test, the network cable must be attached to the interface. The test sends IEEE 802.2 Test packets out on the network. Another node on the network must act as the responder. To be a responder, the node must be able to respond to the IEEE 802.2 Test packets with IEEE 802.2 Test Response packets. Any HP Hub Plus, HP SNMP-managed bridge, or HP router will respond correctly. The program automatically finds a responder on the network. This option terminates the HPIEDIAG session.

Interface Test
Use this option to do a quick test of the interface's hardware and configuration.
During this test, no packets are sent or received over the network, so the network
cable does not have to be attached to the interface.
It is recommended that you use this option any time you change the interface's
configuration. The test takes very little time to run and provides the most complete
verification that the interface's hardware and configuration are correct.
Link Test
This option tests the interface's ability to send and receive packets over the network.
For this test, the network cable must be attached to the interface.
The test sends IEEE 802.2 Test packets out on the network. Another node on the
network must act as the responder.
To be a responder, the node must be able to respond to the IEEE 802.2 Test packets
with IEEE 802.2 Test Response packets. Any HP Hub Plus, HP SNMP-managed
bridge, or HP router will respond correctly.
The program automatically finds a responder on the network.
Exit Program
This option terminates the HPIEDIAG session.
Error Messages
For a list of all error messages and their explanations, refer to the README file in
the
