Network Tools

The LSM provides the following network tools:

DNS Lookup — a network tool that displays the IP Address for a given DNS name

Find Outgoing zone— a network tool that displays the physical interface/security zone (and router IP address if appropriate) that the device would use to reach a given location

Traffic Capture — a network tool that allows you to capture network packets into a file. This is useful for analyzing the type of traffic flowing through the device

Ping — a network tool that allows you to send out Ping requests to test whether devices on an IP network are accessible and functioning correctly. This feature helps diagnose connectivity problems such as a failed network device between the device and the web server being accessed, or to help diagnose DNS setup problems

Traceroute — a network tool that allows you to display the network hops from the device to another device on an IP network. This is a useful tool for network troubleshooting
