Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit LAN and Dual WAN Ports Figure 8-17: Diagnostics screen Table 8-1. Diagnostics Item Description Ping or Trace an IP address Perform a DNS Lookup Display the Routing Table 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. 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 find the IP address. This operation will display the internal routing table. This information is used by Technical Support and other staff who understand Routing Tables. 8-28 Router and Network Management 202-10085-01, March 2005
