Step 4: Test connectivity

Use ping and trace route to test connectivity to protected servers.

To test connectivity from the FortiDDoS system to the protected server:

• Run the following commands from the CLI:

execute ping <destination_ip4>

execute traceroute <destination_ipv4>

To test connectivity from the protected server to the FortiDDoS system:

1. Enable ping on the network interface.
2. Use the ping and trace route utilities available on the protected server to test connectivity to the FortiDDoS network interface IP address.
