Using Ping - Dell NSA E8500 Getting Started Manual

Using Ping

Ping is available on the System > Diagnostics page.
The Ping test bounces a packet off a machine on the Internet
and returns it to the sender. This test shows if the Dell
SonicWALL appliance is able to contact the remote host. If
users on the LAN are having problems accessing services on
the Internet, try pinging the DNS server, or another machine at
the ISP location. If the test is unsuccessful, try pinging devices
outside the ISP. If you can ping devices outside of the ISP, then
the problem lies with the ISP connection.

Using the Active Connections Monitor
The Active Connections Monitor displays real-time,
exportable (plain text or CSV), filterable views of all connections
to and through the Dell SonicWALL appliance. This tool is
available on the Systems > Diagnostics page.
You can filter the results to display only connections matching
certain criteria. You can filter by Source IP, Destination IP,
Destination Port, Protocol, Src Interface and Dst Interface.
Enter your filter criteria in the Active Connections Monitor
Settings table.
The fields you enter values into are combined into a search
string with a logical AND. Select the Group Filters box next to
any two or more criteria to combine them with a logical OR.
