Testing gateway network connectivity

Focus mode
Testing gateway network connectivity - AWS Storage Gateway

You can use your gateway's local console to test your network connectivity. This test can be useful when you are troubleshooting network issues with your gateway.

To test your gateway's connectivity
  1. Log in to your gateway's local console. For instructions, see Logging In to Your Amazon EC2 Gateway Local Console.

  2. From the AWS Appliance Activation - Configuration main menu, enter the corresponding numeral to select Test Network Connectivity.

    If your gateway has already been activated, the connectivity test begins immediately. For gateways that have not yet been activated, you must specify the endpoint type and AWS Region as described in the following steps.

  3. If your gateway is not yet activated, enter the corresponding numeral to select the endpoint type for your gateway.

  4. If you selected the public endpoint type, enter the corresponding numeral to select the AWS Region that you want to test. For supported AWS Regions and a list of AWS service endpoints you can use with Storage Gateway, see AWS Storage Gateway endpoints and quotas in the AWS General Reference.

As the test progresses, each endpoint displays either [PASSED] or [FAILED], indicating the status of the connection as follows:

Message Description
[PASSED] Storage Gateway has network connectivity.
[FAILED] Storage Gateway does not have network connectivity.
