Testing Traffic Through Your NSv

After configuring a route for forwarding traffic on your NSv, you can verify it with some test traffic. You can send traffic from any client machine or virtual machine on the same subnet as the route you configured. In our configuration, this is the LAN-X0 subnet, or 192.168.2.0/24.

For example, you could create an Ubuntu virtual machine in Azure, using the same options as your NSv for the following settings:

• Subscription

• Resource group

• Location

• Virtual network

• Subnet (such as LAN-X0 or 192.168.2.0/24)

To send traffic through your NSv

1. On your client machine or virtual machine (Ubuntu, for example), open a console window. For an Ubuntu virtual machine on Azure, click Serial Console in the Virtual machine options.

2. Type ping 192.168.2.4 on the command line.

   

   The pings should succeed.

3. Log into your NSv and navigate to the MONITOR | Appliance Health | Live Monitor page.

4. Scroll down to view the Connection Count chart. It should show a positive count, caused by the pings.

   

   Other charts on the page also show activity. This verifies that traffic can be forwarded to the NSv.
