Test With Ping Manually (Optional)

You can use this procedure to troubleshoot the switch setups before installing OpenStack.

1. When two hosts are connected to the switch and the associated switch ports are activated, add the two host switch ports (e.g. ex 0/16 and ex 0/18) to the same VLAN (e.g. 2000):

   configure terminal
   vlan 2000
   ports add ex 0/16 ex 0/18
   end
   

2. Verify that the member ports were correctly added to VLAN 2000:

   show vlan id 2000
   

3. On each host, segment the network interface (e.g. eth1) connected to the switch and assign an IP (e.g. 10.1.20.16):

   vconfig add eth1 2000
   ifconfig eth1.2000 up 10.1.20.16/24
   

4. After the VLAN 2000 is setup on both hosts, confirm host 1 can ping host 2's IP and vice versa.
5. For debugging purposes, the VLAN on the switch can also be configured with an IP address:

   configure terminal
   interface vlan 2000
   ip address 10.1.20.10 255.255.255.0
   end
