Diagnostic Tools

You can run diagnostics for any Aviatrix gateway instance running in your multicloud network:

  • Using Diagnostics > Diagnostics Tools. The available tools are Gateway Diagnostics, Connectivity Diagnostics, and BGP Diagnostics.

  • From Topology Properties: performing diagnostics from Topology can drastically reduce the time spent troubleshooting issues.

Gateway Diagnostics

  1. On the Gateway Diagnostics page, select a Gateway Instance.

  2. Select a tool from the Gateway Diagnostics list.

  3. Click Run.

Gateway Diagnostics Description

Ping

Runs pings directly from the gateway to outside the Aviatrix-managed network or to any resource inside the network.

Packet Capture

Capture packets on any gateway. Filter on host and port number and specify the capture time. Search and filter by time, source address, destination address, source port, destination port, protocol, flags, length, and info. Select the interface on the physical or virtual interface you want to capture on. Click Start to start the capture, click Stop to stop the capture, then click Download to download the pcap file. The pcap file can be viewed by Wireshark.

Traceroute

Run trace route.

Tracepath

Discover the MTU on the path if the router supports it.

Connectivity

Test the connectivity of the gateway to a specified host running on a specified TCP or UDP port.

Active Sessions

View sessions that are active on the selected gateway. You can filter active sessions by search criteria. For example, a search on a specific port to see if the gateway has an action session on that port.
