Diagnostics

Go to Tools > Diagnostics for tools that help you troubleshoot your network. You can use the following tools:

Utilities

Use wireless controller utilities to test a connection to the target IP address (or Fully-Qualified Domain Name) and record the route through the Internet between your computer and the target address. You can also use controller utilities to capture exception traffic, which can be useful for network administrators when debugging network problems.

Table 1. Network Utilities
FieldDescription
Target IP Address or Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)IP address or FQDN for the test target.
Use specific source interfaceIndicates if a specific interface will be selected for the test. Select the interface from the Select Interface field.

When this option is cleared, Universal Compute Platform runs the test based on the interface selected in the routing table.

Select InterfaceUsed with Specific Source Interface option. See list of possible interfaces on the Interface tab.
PingInitiate the Ping network utility to determine reachability of the IP address or FQDN that you specify.
Trace RouteInitiate the Trace route command, which traces the path of a packet from Universal Compute Platform to the IP address or FQDN that you specify. It lists the routers it passes until it reaches its destination, or fails to. It also indicates the length of each hop.

TCP Dump Management

The following table describes the fields in the TCP Dump Management section:
