Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 200 FVX538 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. Router and Network Management January 2005 8-29
