NAT ip-Doubt

[networkfreak978]

Hi all,

In a network a PIX firewall is connected to the site's core switch. It has two IPs-one is LAN ip and the other is NAT ip. Which IP(NAT or real ip) must be used to check the status of the firewall from the core switch by ping command?

Thanks.

Hi,

If ICMP is not denied on outbound interface (WAN interface), you can ping the NAT IP to test connectivity.
