Networking Process section of this manual.
Performing a Ping Test
A ping test is the most common test used to verify basic connectivity to a networking
device. Successful ping test results indicate that both physical and virtual path
connections exist between the 4200 and the test IP address. Successful ping tests
do not guarantee that all data traffic is allowed between the 4200 and the test IP
address but is useful to verify basic
reachability. The following steps are used
to perform a ping test:
A. Select System.
B. Select System Overview.
C. Select Network Test Tools.
D. Enter the IP Address to Ping.
E. Press Ping.
The Network Test Tools page will be
refreshed and the results of the ping test
are displayed (this may take several
seconds). The Reset button is used to
clear the IP address entry used in step “D”
above.
Performing a Traceroute Test
A traceroute test is used to track the progress of a packet through the network. The
test can be used to verify that data destined for a WAN device reaches the remote IP
address via the desired path. Similarly, internal network paths can be traced over
the LAN to verify the local network topology. The following steps are used to perform
a traceroute test:
A. Select System.
B. Select System Overview.
C. Select Network Test Tools.
D. Enter the IP address to Trace.
E. Select either the WAN or the LAN radio button
F. Press Traceroute.
The Network Test Tools page will be refreshed and the results of the traceroute test
are displayed (this may take several seconds). The Reset button is used to clear the
IP address entry used in step “D” above.
Performing a VoIP Traffic Test
The 4200 includes the VoIP Test Module traffic simulation client manufactured by
NetIQ. The client allows remote monitoring of the quality of service that can be
delivered to the 4200.
The simulation client can be activated on the 4200 and then controlled remotely by a
NetIQ console test application (sold separately). The test application can initiate
VoIP tests as well as other data sessions between the test client in the 4200 and test
clients placed in other parts of the network to simulate different traffic patterns.
Latency, jitter, MOS scores, and other QoS or data measurements can be reported
