BR-6641 discovers that a machine in DMZ conflicts with Network Setting on 

BR-6641. For example, a public IP address should be in WAN but is used by 
a machine in DMZ. An error message with the conflicting IP address and 
MAC address of the machine will be displayed.

address of the machine will be displayed. 

Ping:

 Ping is used to detect network condition by sending ICMP packets to a 

target device. 

You may specify a target device in the Target IP field. It accepts either an IP 

address or a host name. Select a network interface, WAN or LAN. If it is WAN, 

select WAN link number in Index field. As to the error message about ICMP, please 

refer to the concerned document. 

Note:

 If a domain name is used to ping, a DNS server has to be specified in [Network ]

[Host 

Names]. 

Trace Route:

 Trace route is used to detect network condition by showing the 

routing path from BR-6641 to the target device. 

You may specify a target device in the Target IP field. It accepts either an IP 

address or a host name. Select a network interface, WAN or LAN. If it is WAN, 

select WAN link number in Index field. For ICMP related error messages, please
