Goal

How to ping addresses inside the library and what the addresses are.

Solution

Steps to Follow
Components inside the library can be pinged using the following instructions:
Use the hostname of the device instead of the address.

Examples are, hbb11, hbb12, hbb31, etc. 
Use the "libstate" CLI command to find out what the actual hostname is for the desired device.  The numbers after the alpha characters can increment to 9 (hbb19) if bots have been added/changed since the last reboot.  Use the output of the libstate command to determine the correct full hostname for the device.


    Some examples:

    HBZ modules - hbza, hbzb

    HBT card - hbta, hbtb (when it is there)

    PTPs - hbp1, hbp2

    H-Bots - hbb11, hbb21 (initial hostnames of the left and right top rail bots after a reboot)

    H-Bots - hbb12, hbb21 - after replacement of the top left H-Bot without rebooting the SL8500
