| In addition to delivering a very powerful set of features on the security and VPN side, FVL328 also has network monitoring and diagnostics tools built in such as "Ping" and "Trace Route". Let's take a look at "Ping" and "Trace Route" diagnostics tools "Ping" is a standard network diagnostic program. When you "Ping" a specific system on the network or on the Internet (by using system network name, IP address or full URL), you can verify that the system is up and available on the network if the system respnds to your "ping". "Trace Route" is another network diagnostics software tool built into the FVL328 firewall. "Trace Route" allows you to identify a problem spot on the network if network connectivity issues arise. The following two issues could be addressed using "Trace Route": |
![]() | WAN (Wide Area Network - Internet side of the firewall) connectivity problem with ISP |
![]() | LAN connectivity problems with workstations |
