Ping
The Ping test bounces a packet off a machine on the Internet and returns it to the sender. This test
shows if the SonicWALL security appliance is able to contact the remote host. If users on the LAN are
having problems accessing services on the Internet, try pinging the DNS server, or another machine
at the ISP location. If the test is unsuccessful, try pinging devices outside the ISP. If you can ping
devices outside of the ISP, then the problem lies with the ISP connection.
1
Select Ping from the Diagnostic Tool menu.
2
Enter the IP address or host name of the target device and click Go.
3
If the test is successful, the SonicWALL security appliance returns a message saying the IP
address is alive and the time to return in milliseconds (ms).
Process Monitor
Process Monitor shows individual system processes, their CPU utilization, and their system time.
Reverse Name Resolution
The Reverse Name Resolution tool is similar to the DNS name lookup tool, except that it looks up a
server name, given an IP address.
Enter an IP address in the Reverse Lookup the IP Address field, and it checks all DNS servers
configured for your security appliance to resolve the IP address into a server name.
