DebuggingThe router provides some useful troubleshooting tools. PingThe Tool PING is a diagnosis tool for testing the reachability of a certain host in an IPv4 network. The host is entered in form of an IP address or a domain name as Parameter. A click on Execute command executes the command immediately and outputs the response. Example for a ping to the host insys-icom.com: The Tool PING6 is a diagnosis tool for testing the reachability of a certain host in IPv6 network. The host is entered in form of an IP address or a domain name as Parameter. A click on Execute command executes the command immediately and outputs the response. Example for a ping6 to the host insys-icom.com: TracerouteThe Tool TRACEROUTE is a routine that displays the routers and Internet nodes over which IPv4 data packets get to the queried host. The host is entered in form of an IP address or a domain name as Parameter. A click on Execute command executes the command immediately and outputs the response. Example for Traceroute to the host insys-icom.com: The Tool TRACEROUTE6 is a routine that displays the routers and Internet nodes over which IPv6 data packets get to the queried host. The host is entered in form of an IP address or a domain name as Parameter. A click on Execute command executes the command immediately and outputs the response. Example for Traceroute to the host insys-icom.com: DNS lookupThe Tool DNS LOOKUP is a routine for querying an entry from a domain name system server. It is usually used to determine the IP address for a certain domain name. The domain name is handed over as Parameter here. A click on Execute command executes the command immediately and outputs the response. Example for a DNS lookup for the domain name insys-icom.com: tcpdumpThe Tool TCPDUMP permits to record network traffic. The Parameters to be handed over are described in detail under www.tcpdump.org. A click on Execute command starts the recording. The recording is stopped after a click on Stop TCPDUMP recording and the recorded network traffic is displayed. The last recording can be downloaded from the router with a click on TCPDUMP recording after the recording. Example for the recording of the network traffic on the router interface IP net 3 (net3) using -i net3 as parameter: The recording can be restricted further to increase clarity: AT commandThe Tool AT command may only be used upon consultation with the Technical Support of INSYS icom and permits to transmit AT commands to the selected Modem. The command is handed over as Parameter here. A click on Execute command executes the command immediately and outputs the response. An improper use of this function may affect the function of the router beyond a reset! Port mirroringThe Tool Port mirroring permits to mirror the data traffic on the Source port to the Destination port (sniffer port). The data traffic can then be read on the destination port for analysis purposes. The term port does not only refer to Ethernet ports here. it is also possible to select router interfaces as a port. |
