How Do I Check Whether a Network Cable Is Connected to the Network Port of a Physical Machine?
Question
The IP address of the network port not connected to a network cable is selected during the installation. As a result, the installation exits.
Answer
- Log in to the eSight server as the root user.
- Run the following command to check whether the network adapter is connected to a network cable:
# ethtool ethx
ethx indicates the name of a network adapter.
If the command output contains Link detected: yes, the network adapter is connected to a network cable. If the command output contains Link detected: no, the network adapter is not connected to a network cable.
