Perform network diagnostics
If your Standalone VGA Grid has network trouble, you can perform basic network troubleshooting tasks from
the Network configuration page. In addition to providing the system’s IP address and MAC address to your
network administrator, you can also ping an IP address or use traceroute to determine the path taken to an
address.
Not all networks support ping and traceroute.
To ping or traceroute an IP address:
1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See
2. Login as admin.
