Administration | Ping
This screen lets you use the ICMP ping (Packet Internet Groper) utility to test network connectivity.
Specifically, the VPN Concentrator sends an ICMP Echo Request message to a designated host. If the
host is reachable, it returns an Echo Reply message, and the Manager displays a Success screen. If the
host is not reachable, the Manager displays an Error screen.
You can also Ping hosts from the Administration | Sessions screen.
