Confirm the Connectivity

Confirm the connectivity between the CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP region and EPAgent. If firewalls exist, these firewalls must permit TCP/IP traffic between an ephemeral port on the z/OS IP host for the region and EPAgent Network Data Port (default 8000).

Follow these steps:

  1. Log on to the region.
  2. Enter CMD at the Command prompt.

    The Command Entry panel appears.

  3. Enter the following command to ping the IP address of EPAgent:
    PING em_ip_address
    
  4. Review the response to verify that the region can reach EPAgent.

Important! If the test fails, reconfigure your firewalls to permit connectivity.
