Firewall Advanced Settings Allowing Ping
Page 15
By default the U-verse RG does not reply to Ping or
Trace and does not allow those to be passed thru the
firewall from the WAN side.
To enable Ping and Trace two settings must be
changed. This can be done on the Settings / Firewall /
Advanced Configuration page
Stealth Mode Remove the check mark. This settings
by default means the RG does not itself respond to
ICMP queries.
Block Ping Remove the check mark. This setting is
what will allow Ping and Trace commands through the
firewall from the LAN side.
NOTE at this time the consistency of the replies even
with these settings will vary.
A note about ping and trace the standard form of IP Ping
and Trace use ICMP requests.
ICMP requests are quite often not answered or answered with
a very low priority. Actual data traversing the same hop has a
higher priority and does not experience the same delay. So
for example in a trace today you may see time outs but the
trace completes. The time outs do not indicate a problem but
instead indicate only that those hops are configured not to
reply to ICMP requests. Also if the destination device is set to
not reply then a ping or trace can time out and still not be an
accurate indicator of if there is a problem.
This is mentioned to keep in mind not to use this as your only
or even primary trouble indicator.
