Domain Suffix; Debugging (Ping And Traceroute); The Lan Ip Screen - Hitron CVE-30360 User Manual

40
3.1.3
A domain is a location on a network, for instance example.com. On the Internet,
domain names are mapped to the IP addresses to which they should refer by the
Domain Name System. This allows you to enter "www.example.com" into your
browser and reach the correct place on the Internet even if the IP address of the
website's server has changed.
Similarly, the CVE-30360 allows you to define a Domain Suffix to the LAN. When
you enter the domain suffix into your browser, you can reach the CVE-30360 no
matter what IP address it has on the LAN.
3.1.4
The CVE-30360 provides a couple of tools to allow you to perform network
diagnostics on the LAN:

Ping: this tool allows you to enter an IP address and see if a computer (or other
network device) responds with that address on the network. The name comes
from the pulse that submarine SONAR emits when scanning for underwater
objects, since the process is rather similar. You can use this tool to see if an IP
address is in use, or to discover if a device (whose IP address you know) is
working properly.

Traceroute: this tool allows you to see the route taken by data packets to get
from the CVE-30360 to the destination you specify. You can use this tool to
solve routing problems, or identify firewalls that may be blocking your access to
a computer or service.
