Test the Virtual CAS Network Check Tool

The Virtual CAS Network Check Tool checks connectivity between the Virtual CAS and other elements in
the network. Any user can run the tool and it does not require any privileges.

The following table shows the checks the tool performs:

Check

Decsription

Network Settings

Verifies that the IP address and default router are on the same network
and that the current running settings (IP address, netmask, default
gateway) match the saved configuration settings (for example, those in
/etc/network/interfaces

).

Default Router

Probes the default router with arping.

Checking the DNS
Servers

Verifies that the DNS servers are reachable by probing with ping. If that
fails, then it verifies with netcat.

Targets

Verifies that the targets behind the CAS are reachable. A warning
displays if:

1. Access is closed

connect to any host behind the CAS.

RARS

Verifies that the HP Repository Server URL is accessible.

Web Proxy

Verifies that the web proxy is reachable.

checking is turned off, a warning displays.
