Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS114 Figure 7-8: Diagnostics menu • Ping or Trace an IP address - Ping: Use this to send a "ping" packet request to the specified IP address. This is often used to test a connection. If the request "times out" (no reply is received), this usually means the destination is unreachable. However, some network devices can be configured not to respond to a ping. The ping results will be displayed in a new screen; click "Back" to return to the Diagnostics screen. - Trace: Often called "Trace Route", this will list all Routers between the source (this device) and the destination IP address. The Trace Route results will be displayed in a new screen; click "Back" to return to the Diagnostics screen. • Perform a DNS Lookup: A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (e.g. www.netgear.com) to an IP address. If you need the IP address of a Web, FTP, Mail or other Server on the Internet, you can do a DNS lookup to fing the IP address. • Display the Routing Table: This operation will display the internal routing table. This information is used by Technical Support and other staff who understand Routing Tables. • Reboot the Router: Use this button to perform a remote reboot (restart). You can use this if the Router seems to have become unstable or is not operating normally. Maintenance 7-9 202-10098-01, April 2005
