How to ping External Interface IP

L0 Member

Hi 

I am trying to setup the ability to ping an external interface's IP address.  I have setup a MGMT profile that allows PING assigned to the physical interface where our public IP addresses are.  I also created a security rule that allows ICMP and PING to that particular IP.  The rule is setup as follows

 

Type: Universal

source zone: External

source address: <my home ISP IP>

Destination zone:  External

Destination address: corporate ISP IP

 

I listed ICMP and PING under application but I also set it to any for testing and still don't see any Hit

 

What am I missing?

Hello @B.Fisher 

Is there a static route configured for 0.0.0.0? Additionally, you can navigate to Device>Troubleshooting and test the traffic to the specific IP address to determine which policy the traffic is being matched against.

If you are using broadband there is a possibility where your public IP might be dynamic. Please verify it is still the same IP you configured under the sec policy
