SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
The Check Network Settings tool is dependent on the Network Monitor feature available on
the Network > Network Monitor page of the SonicOS management interface. Whenever the
Check Network Settings tool is being executed (except during the Content Filter test), a
corresponding Network Monitor Policy appears on the Network Monitor page, with a special
diagnostic tool policy name in the form “diagTestPolicyAuto_<IP_address>_0”.
To use the Check Network Settings tool, first select it in the Diagnostic Tools drop-down list
and then click the Test button in the row for the item that you want to test. The results are
displayed in the same row. A green check mark signifies a successful test, and a red X
indicates that there is a problem.
To test multiple items at the same time, select the checkbox for each desired item and then
click the Test All Selected button.
If there are any failed probes, you can click the blue arrow to the left of the IP Address field
of the failed item to jump to the configuration page to investigate the root cause.
Connections Monitor
The Connections Monitor displays real-time, exportable (plain text or CSV), filterable views
of all connections to and through the SonicWALL security appliance. Click on a column heading
to sort by that column.
