Test Automatic Connectivity

Case ID: hcn-001

Using Unity

Ensure that Network Manager is running and that no networks are currently connected. (Network Manager icon, in the notification area. (Blank slice of pizza)
Press the Super Windows Key or click on the Ubuntu logo on the Unity panel, and search Terminal , or select (Ctrl+Alt+T)
Connect the network adapter to a network with a DHCP server. (However you connect to your wired network)
After approximately 30 seconds, run ifconfig in the terminal. Verify that a cabled network device (e.g. '"eth0") is present and has received an IP address. Note the interface name (e.g. "eth0"). (The Network Manager icon should change to 2 solid arrows one pointing up, one down)
In the terminal, run route -n. Note the IP address in the Gateway column. (not "0.0.0.0")
In the terminal, run ping -c 5 [gateway] where [gateway] is the IP address of the Gateway, above.
Verify that the command reports "5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received".

Using GNOME Classic

Ensure that Network Manager is running and that no networks are currently connected. (Network Manager icon in the notification area should look like a blank slice of pizza)
Open the Terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal).
Connect the network adapter to a network with a DHCP server. (However you connect to your wired network)
After approximately 30 seconds, run ifconfig in the terminal. Verify that a cabled network device is present (e.g. eth0) and has received an IP address. Note the interface name (e.g. eth0). (The slice of pizza should change to 2 arrows, one up, one down)
In the terminal, run route -n. Note the IP address in the Gateway column. (not "0.0.0.0")
In the terminal, run ping -c 5 [gateway] where [gateway] is the IP address of the Gateway, above.
Verify that the command reports "5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received".

Verify Manual Connectivity

Case ID: hcn-003

In the terminal, run sudo ifconfig [interface] [staticIP] where [interface] is the interface name (e.g. eth0) and [staticIP] is a valid unused IP address on the current network. (If you are on a home network try using the previously used IP address, (still listed on the terminal) (Consult your network administrator if you do not know such an address.)
In the terminal, run ifconfig. Verify that the network device is again listed (e.g. eth0) and has the IP address listed([staticIP]) as given above.
In the terminal, run ping -c 5 [gateway] where [gateway] is the IP address of the Gateway, above.
Verify that the command reports "5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received".
(In the terminal, run sudo ifconfig [interface] down where [interface] is the interface name above. This releases the static IP address back to the server. Then you will need to run sudo ifconfig [interface] up in order to enable your wired network and allow the server to assign an IP address as needed.)
