Troubleshooting Your X.25 Link
Chapter 8206
Note 5-1 – ping
Use ping on your own IP over X.25 address, for example:
ping 195.25.0.13
Do not use aliases (for example, as defined in/etc/hosts), since this
may introduce other errors.
Use the
Break key or Ctrl-C to terminate ping if you have not set the
number of packets with the -n option.
Note 5-2 – Checking your IP over X.25 Configuration
If ping returns errors such as “100% packet loss,” or “Network
Unreachable,” use x25stat -a to check your address configuration. The
most likely causes of problems are:
• No IP address was specified when X.25 was initialized (either in the
X.25 configuration file or as a command line option to the x25init
command).
• IP to X.121 address mapping has not been initialized (using the -a
option with the x25init command).
• The IP address is incorrect.
• The mapping of your IP address to your X.121 address is incorrect.
Check the IP to X.121 map table file (the default file is
/etc/x25/ip_to_x121_map).
If no IP communication is possible (ping to a local IP address fails) and
netstat -a shows no entries despite the fact that x25init reported a
successful IP mapping, the likely cause is:
•the device=x25_card_device parameter has not been added to the
/etc/x25/ip_to_x121_map file. See the section, “IP-to-X.121
Address Mapping Table” in this chapter.
You can also use the netstat command with the -r option to get
information about IP addresses associated with a particular interface.
Note 5-3 – Exit
Your local IP over X.25 configuration is correct. You can use ping to
verify connections if the remote host:
• is operational,
