Tools Ping Click on Tools in the menu bar, and then click Ping below it. This tool is used to send a specified number of ICMP Echo Request packets to a given destination. All packets are sent in immediate succession rather than one per second. This method is the best suited for diagnosing connectivity problems. • IP Address - Target IP to send the ICMP Echo Requests to. • Number of packets - Number of ICMP Echo Request packets to send, up to 10. • Packet size - Size of the packet to send, between 32 and 1500 bytes. Ping Example In this example, the IP Address is 192.168.10.1 the Number of packets is five. After clicking on Apply the firewall will start to send the ICMP Echo Requests to the specified IP. After a few seconds the result will be displayed. In this example, only four out of five packets were received back, a 20% packet loss, and the average time for the packets to travel to and from the specified IP was 57 ms.
