Verifying Reachability of All Peers in a BGP Network

Purpose

By using the ping tool on each peer address in the network, verify that all peers in the network are reachable from each Services Router.

Action

For each Services Router in the BGP network:

1. In the J-Web interface, select Diagnose>Ping Host.
2. In the Remote Host box, type the name of a host for which you want to verify reachability from the Services Router.
3. Click Start. Output appears on a separate page.

PING 10.10.10.10 : 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.10.10.10: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.382 ms
64 bytes from 10.10.10.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.266 ms

Meaning

If a host is active, it generates an ICMP response. If this response is received, the round-trip time is listed in the time field.
