Send a Ping Packet
Use the ping utility to send a ping packet request to check the connection between the VPN
firewall and a specific IP address or FQDN. If the request times out (no reply is received), it
usually means that the destination is unreachable. However, some network devices can be
configured not to respond to a ping. The ping results are displayed on a new screen.
To send a ping:
1.
Log in to the unit:
a.
In the address field of any of the qualified web browsers, enter
https://192.168.1.1
.
The NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen displays.
b.
In the
Username
field, enter
admin
and in the
Password / Passcode
field, enter
password
.
Use lowercase letters. If you changed the password, enter your personalized
password. Leave the domain as it is (geardomain).
c.
Click the
Login
button.
The Router Status screen displays. After five minutes of inactivity, which is the default
login time-out, you are automatically logged out.
2.
Select
Monitoring > Diagnostics
.
The Diagnostics screen displays the IPv4 settings.
3.
Specify the IP version for the screen that you want:
•
For IPv4, in the
IP Address / Domain Name
field of the Ping or Trace an IP Address
section, enter the IP address or domain name that you want to ping.
•
For IPv6, in the
Domain Name
field, enter the domain name that you want to ping.
You cannot enter an IP address.

Select VPN Policy
list.

The results of the ping are displayed in a new screen.
