Using Built-In Diagnostic Tools

Use the System Management > Diagnostic page to access two built-in tools, DNS Name Lookup and Ping. If you suspect a problem with connectivity, you can use these tools to investigate.

To open this page: Click System Management > Diagnostic.

Choose DNS Name Lookup if you know a DNS name and want to learn the IP address. Choose Ping to test the connectivity to a particular IP address on the Internet.

DNS Name Lookup

Choose this option to test connectivity to the DNS server that you specified on the Setup > Network page, or to look up an IP address that you want to use in the Ping test.

In the Look up the name field, enter a host name, such as www.cisco.com. Do not include a prefix such as http://. Then click Go. If the test is successful, the IP address of the host appears.

NOTE This tool requires that the router can connect to a valid DNS server, based on the WAN interface settings (Setup > Network page).
