SonicOS 7 NSv Getting Started Guide for AWS

Test Management Network

The Test Management Network screen is displayed for an NSv, but not for an NSv. In an NSv, the Ping and Nslookup commands are available on the Diagnostics screen.

The Test Management Network screen provides the Ping and Nslookup tools to test connectivity between the management interface and the local network. Ping is used to test whether hosts in the network are reachable. Nslookup is available for sending DNS queries from the NSv virtual machine.

To use Ping

  1. Select Test Management Network in the Menu and press Tab to move the focus into the Test Management Network screen.

  2. Select Ping to highlight it and then press Enter to display the Enter IP address dialog.

  3. Navigate into the dialog, press Backspace to clear the current value, and then type in the IP address that you want to ping.

  4. Press Enter.

    The ping output is displayed in the Ping host dialog.

  5. Press the Esc key to close the dialog.

To use Nslookup

  1. Select Test Management Network in the Menu and press Tab to move the focus into the Test Management Network screen.

  2. Select Nslookup to highlight it and press Enter to display the Enter hostname dialog.

  3. Navigate into the dialog, press Backspace to clear the current value, and then type in the hostname that you want to look up with a DNS query.

  4. Press Enter.

    The Nslookup query results are displayed in an information dialog. You can scroll up and down within the dialog by using the up/down arrow keys.

  5. Press the Esc key to close the dialog.
