Verify the Interface Configuration

Define the TCP/IP command symbols and verify WE0 and WE1 using IFCONFIG.

$ @SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS.COM

Display the configuration for each interface:

$ IFCONFIG WE0

Example output:

WE0: flags=c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>

     failSAFE IP Addresses:
        inet 10.1.1.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255 (on BART WE1)

    *inet 10.1.1.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255 ipmtu 1500
$ IFCONFIG WE1

Example output:

WE1: flags=c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>

     failSAFE IP Addresses:
        inet 10.1.1.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255 (on BART WE0)

    *inet 10.1.1.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255 ipmtu 1500

Note

All primary IP addresses are created with a home interface. Home interfaces (*) are preferred failover and recovery targets. failSAFE IP attempts to return IP addresses to their designated home interfaces whenever possible.
