USG Flex 200 Connectivity Check

Any documentation on running connectivity check from the command line of the device?

Hi @MMRHCM

Could you share your purpose? Do you want to use commands to check connectivity or configure connectivity check?

I know how to configure a connectivity check in the GUI. I'd really like to perform this using snmp.

Discovered "show connectivity-check status" but would prefer something more efficient than scripting an ssh session to check this on each wan interface every 5 minutes across our ~45 firewalls.

Hi @MMRHCM

Connectivity check uses ping to check the connectivity. If you want to perform connectivity check, you can just use a ping with a specific interface to check.

Here is the commend:

ping {ipv4_addr | hostname} [sourceipv4] [size <0..65507>] [forever |count <1..4096>] [interfaceinterface_name] [extension filterextension]

Additionally, SNMP requires the device to support this type of MIB to process pings. Since it is not included in our MIB file, I'm clarifying if the USG FLEX series endorses this kind of MIB. I will update you once I get further information.

Hi @MMRHCM

In addition, our connectivity check can set:

1. Check period. (How long the device do a ping check) (5~600 seconds.)
2. Check Timeout. (How long the device wait for the response) (1~10 Seconds.
3. Check Fail Tolerance. (How many time the

You can change these options to enable frequent connectivity checks.
