Administration | Ping
This screen lets you use the ICMP ping (Packet Internet Groper) utility to test network connectivity.
Specifically, the VPN Concentrator sends an ICMP
Echo Request message to a designated host. If the
host is reachable, it returns an
Echo Reply message, and the Manager displays a Success screen. If the
host is not reachable, the Manager displays an
Error screen.
You can also
Ping hosts from the Administration | Sessions screen.

Address/Hostname to Ping
Enter the IP address or hostname of the system you want to test. (If you configured a DNS server, you
can enter a hostname; otherwise, enter an IP address.) Maximum is 64 characters.
Ping / Cancel
To send the ping message, click Ping. The Manager pauses during the test, which may take a few
moments; please wait for the operation to finish. The Manager then displays either a
Success or Error
screen; see below.
To cancel your entry on this screen, click
Cancel. The Manager returns to the main Administration screen.
