Two methods for testing the connectivity of a security gateway are:

●Ping between the VPNmanager workstation and a security gateway

●Proxy ping, which has been initiated by the VPNmanager, from a security gateway to any node.

A ping between the VPNmanager workstation and a security gateway is useful for verifying that the security gateway is powered on and operational, and that an IP network connection from the VPNmanager workstation to the security gateway exists.

The Ping This Device button initiates a clear text (non-VPN traffic) ping from the VPNmanager workstation to the security gateway.

Check connectivity by ping

To execute this ping:

●Select a security gateway from the Contents list, then click on the Ping This Device button.

●The ping results are displayed in the Ping Results window.

The Ping Results window indicates that connectivity to the security gateway’s IP address is being checked.

A result of “<IP address of security gateway> is alive” indicates a reply was received from the IP address of this security gateway.

A result of “security gateway unreachable” indicates no reply was received.
