IPAC Server Administrator's Manual
Using System Tools
The application provides access to basic system commands via the Tools page in the System
section.
Administrators with appropriate permissions can access or enter commands on the Tools
page.
To use the system tools:
1. Scroll over the System link. The sub-navigation menu displays.
2. From the sub-navigation menu, click Status. The Status sub-navigation menu
displays.
3. From the Status sub-navigation menu, click Tools. The Tools page displays.
Administrators with appropriate permissions can:
Select a Command from the drop-down list.
Enter a parameter for that command in the adjoining data entry field.
Click Go to activate the command.
Valid command options include:
ping. Provides a mechanism for determining whether the control panel can reach a
particular IP address on the LAN or the internet. For example, the target of the ping
command may be local to the network (e.g., trying to ping the local gateway to the internet
first to see if the control panel can communicate with the LAN), or may be
traceroute. Show the route a packet takes en route to its given destination. This command
may take longer to execute than the others.
nslookup. Attempt to resolve a host name, to make sure your DNS settings are valid.
arp. Output low-level routing information.
ifconfig. Output low-level network device configuration and status information.
restart network. Reinitializes the network layer, potentially releasing DHCP leases and
activating any outstanding changes to network configurations.
reboot system. Performs a graceful restart of the system.
