Identifying a failed NIC from the ACM
If the NIC is suspected of failing, you can check the web UI or use the FRU command line
verification from the ACM.
Procedure
1. Access the web UI and check for alerts in the Health screen. Click an alert for more details.
2. Log in to the ACM command line by using SSH.
Use root for the user, and use the common password for the appliance.
3. At the command line, type the following command: # showfru network
The screen displays that the system is collecting data. When the data collection is
completed, the screen displays status information for the ports on the NIC.
acme-dp4400-ACM:~ # showfru network
