This topic applies to the page in XInsight for managed systems running QSM 4.2 or later, XEVO 3.2 or later, or KSM 1.1 or later.

Go to System > Utilities. The Utilities page provides tools for testing network connectivity and viewing or managing IPv4 routes.

Ping Test #

Use Ping Test to verify connectivity between the storage system and a remote host.

Enter the destination IP address or hostname in Target, specify the number of requests in Count, and select the network interface to use from Test Network. Select Unspecified to let the system determine the interface based on its routing configuration.

Click Test. The test results, including any connection or name-resolution errors, appear in the output area below.

IPv4 Routing Table #

Use IPv4 Routing Table to view system-generated routes and manage static IPv4 routes.

For QSM and XEVO systems, the IPv4 Static Routing Table lists administrator-defined routes. Each entry displays the destination network, subnet mask, gateway, metric, and network interface. Use the available controls to add, edit, or remove a static route.

The IPv4 Routing Table displays the routes currently used by the system, including automatically generated routes. These entries are provided for reference and cannot be modified from this section.

Add a Static Route #

On a QSM or XEVO system, click Add to open the Add Static Route dialog, and configure the following settings:

• Destination: Enter the destination network address.
• Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask for the destination network.
• Gateway: Enter the IPv4 address of the gateway used to reach the destination.
• Metric: Enter the route cost. When multiple routes reach the same destination, a route with a lower metric is generally preferred.
• Network: Select the network interface through which traffic is sent.

Click Add to create the route.

Edit a Static Route #

On a QSM or XEVO system, select a route from the IPv4 Static Routing Table, and then click Edit. Modify the required settings and apply the changes.

Remove a Static Route #

On a QSM or XEVO system, select a route from the IPv4 Static Routing Table, and then click Remove.

Warning: Incorrect static route settings might interrupt access to the storage system or prevent it from reaching external services. Verify the destination, gateway, and network interface before applying the configuration.
