Enabling cloud connectivity testing on Synergis Cloud Link units

Cloud connectivity tests indicate whether your Synergis™ Cloud Link can connect to the internet and whether your firewall settings block endpoints that are required for the unit to connect to the cloud.

What you should know

By default, cloud connectivity tests are disabled. When the tests are enabled, the Synergis Cloud Link periodically tries to communicate with Google to test if it can connect to the internet. If you don't want your units to communicate with Google, leave cloud connectivity tests disabled.

The following procedure applies to both Security Center SaaS and Security Center SaaS Edition (Classic) deployments.

1. Log on to the Synergis Cloud Link unit.
2. Click Configuration > Cloud connectivity .
3. In the Connection settings section, select the Cloud connectivity tests checkbox.
4. If your local network can only reach the internet through a proxy server, in the Proxy section, enter the proxy server URL, username, and password.
5. Click Save.

The Internet connectivity, Service bus connectivity, Storage account connectivity, and Event hub connectivity test categories are displayed with the status of the test under each one.

After you finish

To troubleshoot failed connectivity tests, ensure that your firewall settings aren't blocking the required domains and URLs required for cloud connection.
