Using our example, from a PC attached to the FWAG114 on LAN A, on a Windows PC
click the Start button on the taskbar and then click Run.
b.
Type
ping -t 172.23.9.1
, and then click OK.
c.
This will cause a continuous ping to be sent to the LAN interface of Gateway B. After
between several seconds and two minutes, the ping response should change from “timed
out” to “reply.”
d.
At this point the connection is established.
2.
To test connectivity between the FWAG114 Gateway A and Gateway B WAN ports, follow
these steps:

Using our example, log in to the FWAG114 on LAN A, go to the main menu Maintenance
section and click the Diagnostics link.
b.
To test connectivity to the WAN port of Gateway B, enter
22.23.24.25
, and then click
Ping.
c.
This will cause a ping to be sent to the WAN interface of Gateway B. After between
several seconds and two minutes, the ping response should change from “timed out” to
“reply.” You may have to run this test several times before you get the “reply” message
back from the target FWAG114.
d.
At this point the connection is established.
Note : If you want to ping the FWAG114 as a test of network connectivity, be sure the
FWAG114 is configured to respond to a ping on the Internet WAN port by checking the
checkbox seen in
“Rules menu” on page 3-6 . However, to preserve a high degree of security,
you should turn off this feature when you are finished with testing.
