Network Tools
The Network Tools portlet lets you invoke a variety of existing functions on a device without having
the device currently discovered. It typically appears listed as an available Application to install as a
portlet.
Before you can use the tools, you must enter an IP address in the appropriate field. Once you have
entered that address, you can use the following:
•
Ping Tool
• MIB Browser Tool
• Direct Access Tool
NOTE:
If you want to restrict access for some users so they do not automatically log in with direct access, then
remove direct access permissions for users, and use Network Tools for direct access.
Ping Tool
The second button is the Ping tool, which pings the selected device, and lists the time for ping
response.
