Ping
The Ping menu item allows you to input an address either as an IP Address or a URL for testing the destination
availability.
Host/IP Address field:
Type in the IP Address or URL you wish to Ping. It is recommended you start with a
locally accessible IP address to confirm communication to an interface’s local subnet. Then proceed to
addresses on distant networks. Your local default gateway is a good test, and this IP can be found in the your
routing table. Also, a commonly available internet server available to test against is 4.2.2.2
Source Interface:
The Source Interface offers the option of using different interfaces to send the Ping through.
This is useful if you have a VPN Tunnel in place. Testing the connection through the VPN Tunnel is required to
verify connectivity through the tunnel.
Choose the interface that the VPN Tunnel has listed for the Local Subnet end-point, i.e. if the Left Subnet is
10.100.100.0/24 and eth1 has 10.100.100.1 as its IP Address, then choose Source Interface eth1.
Specify a Host/IP Address at the head-end to Ping through the tunnel.
Click on the

button to see the result.
