query that tests the setup of your DNS servers.
You use the following settings to define the parameters for the test DNS
request.

DNS query:
– The URL name of the server (
Name
).
– The IP address of the server (

).
– The Mail Exchange used by the server (
MX
)
•Use the

used for the selected
Query Type

–For
IP
, identify the IP address.
–For
MX
, identify the Mail Exchange address.

query the
Primary DNS Server
or

.
Note: The
Last Query Response
field reports the result of the
last query that was performed:

Ping utility
This option is only available in the Control Console. It allows you to use
Ping, a network utility, to test the Management Card’s network
connection by seeing if a defined IP address responds to the Ping utility.
By default, the Default Gateway IP address (see TCP/IP above) is used.
However, you can use the IP address of any device known to be running
on the network.
