Verifying Connectivity

When you configure your IPTV network, we recommend that you verify connectivity between routers (VSR1 and VSR2) and between each router and certain devices using the ping command.

The format for the ping command is as follows:

ping host source source-address

host—IP address of the device or interface to which you want to issue the ping command.

source source-address—IP address of the outgoing interface.

To verify connectivity:

• Issue the ping command from the access interface on each router to the loopback interface of the redundant router.
• Issue the ping command from each metro and core interface on each router to the metro and core interface on the redundant router.
• Issue the ping command from the loopback interface of each router to the DHCP server.
