Ping
The Ping function uses the ping command to give users a simple but powerful tool for troubleshooting network
problems. The function’s most unique feature is that even though the ping command is entered from the user’s
PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from the ToughNet NAT Router itself. In this way, the user
can essentially control the ToughNet NAT Router and send ping commands out through its ports. Just type in
the desired IP address and click
Ping
, the router will send out the ping command to test the integrity of the
network.
LLDP
LLDP Function Overview
Defined by IEEE 802.11AB, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is an OSI Layer 2 Protocol that standardizes
the methodology of self-identity advertisement. It allows each networking device, such as a Moxa managed
switch/router, to periodically inform its neighbors about itself and its configuration. In this way, all devices will
be aware of each other.
The router’s web interface can be used to enable or disable LLDP, and to set the LLDP
Message Transmit
Interval
. Users can view each switch’s neighbor-list, which is reported by its network neighbors.
