Diagnostics View


Click the Diag button to present the Diagnostics View.

Use this view to execute Trace Route, Ping commands, and to look at a current Routing Table.

[Doodad] Trace Route

To execute trace route at the Monitor Tool:

    1. Click the Diag button to present the Diagnostics View.
    The following figure shows an example.

    2. Type the Destination Address in the Trace Route field.
    3. Click the OK button.

The Monitor Tool trace route provides information about the route between the node running Monitor Tool and the node specified by the Destination Address you type in the trace route field.

Ping

The Ping diagnostic tool confirms connectivity between the node that is running Monitor Tool and the specified node.

To execute Ping at the Monitor Tool:

    1. Click the Diag button to present the Diagnostics View.

    2. Type the Address of the host you want to check in the Ping field.
    3. Type the number of Ping sequences you want to execute during this Ping session.
    4. Click the OK button.

Ping sends a message once a second for the number of seconds specified in the Repeat Times field.

If the Ping is unsuccessful, it will report that 0 packets were received

Routing Table

This tool shows information about the network status.

To present a routing table at the Monitor Tool:

    1. Click the Diag button to present the Diagnostics View.

    2. Click the Routing Table link.

The following figure shows an example of a routing table (partial view).

The section that follows describes the fields in the routing table.

Destination
Destination IP addresses/masks. All packets matching an address in the mask bits of this route, but not any route with a higher number of bits set, exit this interface towards the next hop. A route to an individual host has all 32 bits of the destination mask set.
Gateway
The dotted decimal or the hexadecimal identifier of the next-hop IP router.
Flags
Any flags listed are turned on. The following routing flags may appear in your routing table:

Flag

Name

Definition

1

RTF_PROTO2

Protocol specific routing flag #1

2

RTF_PROTO2

Protocol specific routing flag #2

3

RTF_PROTO3

Protocol specific routing flag #3

B

RTF_BLACKHOLE

Just discard pkts (during updates)

C

RTF_CLONING

Generate new routes on use

c

RTF_PRCLONING

Generate new routes on use (protocol-specified)

D

RTF_DYNAMIC

Created dynamically (by redirect)

G

Destination requires forwarding by intermediary

H

Host entry (otherwise, net)

L

RTF_LLINFO

Valid protocol to link address translation

M

RTF_MODIFIED

Modified dynamically (by redirect)

R

RTF_REJECT

Host or net unreachable

S

RTF_STATIC

Manually added

U

RTF_UP

Route usable

W

Route was generated as a result of cloning

X

Use
Number of times the routes have been used.
Netif
The identifier of the output port associated with the route.
Expire
Time (in seconds) until this routing entry will be removed from the routing table.
