Transmitting test packets from the MSS

To transmit test packets:

1. From the MSS Messaging Administration menu, select Basic System Administration > TCP/IP Diagnostics > Send & Receive Test Packets To & From.

The system displays the Send and Receive Test Packets To & From page.

2. Type the internet protocol (IP) address of the system for which you want to run the test in the IP Address field.
3. Click Save to run the test.

When the test is finished, the system displays the Test Packets Results page—Internal Test page.

4. Evaluate the results and proceed as follows:
• If the results show 0% packet loss, continue with Verifying the IP address for networked machines.
• If the results show 100% packet loss, continue with Correcting diagnostic failures for the system.
