Furthermore, the exec ping command should be used to test basic internet connectivity, and diagnose firewall auth list can help verify routing paths. Finally, administrators should check firewall policies to ensure that traffic originating from the firewall’s interface (management or WAN) is permitted to reach the internet on the necessary ports.
