Send DNS Query This option is only available through the TCP & DNS option in the Web
Interface. It allows you to have the Management Card send a DNS
query that tests the setup of your DNS servers.
You use the following settings to define the parameters for the test DNS
request.
• Use the Query Type setting to select the method to use for the
DNS query:
– The URL name of the server (
Name ).
– The IP address of the server ( IP ).
– The Mail Exchange used by the server ( MX )
• Use the Query Question text field to identify the value to be
used for the selected Query Type :
– For Name , identify the URL.
– For IP , identify the IP address.
– For MX , identify the Mail Exchange address.
• Use the DNS Server to Query to select whether you want to
query the Primary DNS Server or Secondary DNS Server .
Note: The Last Query Response field reports the result of the
last query that was performed: Passed , Failed , or Not
Responding .
Ping utility This option is only available in the Control Console. It allows you to use
Ping, a network utility, to test the Management Card’s network
connection by seeing if a defined IP address responds to the Ping utility.
By default, the Default Gateway IP address (see TCP/IP above) is used.
However, you can use the IP address of any device known to be running
on the network.
