Verifying interfaces with Ping and Traceroute

The Ping and Traceroute commands can be used in the TSO and z/OS® UNIX environments to verify adapters or interfaces attached to the z/OS host. For information about the syntax and output of the commands, see z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's Commands.

Given that your PROFILE.TCPIP file contains the interfaces of your installation and that the TCPIP.DATA file contains the correct TCPIPJOBNAME, the TCPIP address space is configured and you can go on to configuring routes, servers, and so on.
