Network Tools
Three test tools are available from this page.
•
NSLookup - converts a domain name to its IP address and vice versa.
•
Ping - tests the “reachability” of a particular network destination by sending an ICMP echo request and
waiting for a reply.
•
TraceRoute - displays the path to a destination by showing the number of hops and the router
addresses of these hops.
1.
To use the NSLookup capability, type an address (domain name or IP address) in the
text box and click the
NSLookup
button
Example: Show the IP Address for grosso.com.
Result: The DNS Ser ver doing the lookup is displayed in the
Server: and Address: fields. If the Name
Ser ver can find your entr y in its table, it is displayed in the
Name: and Address: fields.
PING: The network tools section sends a PING from the Gateway to either the LAN or WAN to verify connec-
tivity. A PING could be either an IP address (163.176.4.32) or Domain Name (www.netopia.com).
2.
To use the Ping capability, type a destination address (domain name or IP address) in
the text box and click the
Ping
button.
Example: Ping to grosso.com.
