Running Diagnostic Utilities And Rebooting The Router - NETGEAR MBR1210 11n Guide D'utilisation

Running Diagnostic Utilities and Rebooting the Router

The router has a diagnostics feature. You can use the Diagnostics screen to perform the
following functions from the router:
•
Ping an IP address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host. If Ping VPN
is enabled, the ping packet always goes through the VPN if the VPN tunnel is enabled
and working.
•
Perform a DNS lookup to test if an Internet name resolves to an IP address to verify that
the DNS server configuration is working.
•
Display the routing table to identify what other routers the router is communicating with.
•
Reboot the router to enable new network configurations to take effect or to clear problems
with the router's network connection.
From the main menu, under Maintenance, select
Diagnostics.
• Ping. Ping an IP address.
• Lookup. A Domain Name Server (DNS)
converts the Internet name such as
www.netgear.com to an IP address. If you need
the IP address of a server on the Internet, you
can do a DNS lookup to find the IP address.
• Display. View the internal routing table.
Typically, this information is used only by
Technical Support.
• Reboot. Shut down and restart the router.
If you reboot the router you will lose your
connection. To access the router you will need to
log in again after it has finished rebooting.
• Save. Save diagnostic information.
