Revision 1.14.3 210 RX1000/RX1100™
The Verbose Output? field causes ping to present the maximum of output.
The Lookup Addresses? field causes ping to resolve IP addresses to domain names. This can make
ping behave very slowly if DNS is not properly configured.
The Use ICMP instead of UDP? field causes traceroute to probe with ICMP packets.
The How many Hops? field limits the maximum number of hops that traceroute will attempt to map.
The Packet Length? field specifies the size of the data in the traceroute packet.
The Interface? field specifies the network interface to obtain the source IP address for outgoing probe
packets. Otherwise the router will manually set the address based on the actual interface taken.
23.6. Host Menu
Figure 23.6. Host Menu
The Hostname field accepts the host name or IP address to ping.
The Type? field selects the type of information to capture.
The Nameserver? fields select the server to use to resolve with. If Default is left selected the DHCP,
DNS or local resolv.conf setup will be used. Otherwise the address supplied will be used.
The Timeout? field specifies the maximum time to wait before abandoning a lookup.
23.7. Trace Menu
The Trace Menu contains three sections, providing the capability to trace network interfaces, frame
relay interfaces, and serial server interfaces. The latter two menus will appear only if you have
configured frame relay or serial server interfaces.
