Utilities for network debugging
The console interface provides several utilities to assist the Administrator to check the system
conditions and perform debugging. The utilities are described as following:
Ping host (IP): By sending ICMP echo request to a specified host and wait for the response to test
the network status.
Trace routing path: Trace and inquire the routing path to a specific target.
Display interface settings: Displays the information of each network interface setting including the
MAC address, IP address, and netmask.
Display the routing table: The internal routing table of the system is displayed, which may help to
confirm the Static Route settings.
Display ARP table: The internal ARP table of the system is displayed.
Display system live time: The system live time (time for system being turn on) is displayed.
Check service status: Check and display the status of the system.
Set device into "safe mode": Used when the administrator is unable to access the Web
Management Interface via the browser or when it fails inexplicitly. The Administrator can choose this
utility and set the DSA-6100 into safe mode to manage the device using a browser.
Synchronize clock with NTP server: Immediately synchronize the clock through the NTP protocol
and the specified network time server. Since this interface does not support manual setup for its
internal clock, reset of internal clock can only be performed through the NTP.
