Testing connectivity from the virtual appliance (VA) to the source is a crucial troubleshooting step when dealing with connection issues such as timeouts. This can be done by accessing the VA and performing network tests (e.g., ping, telnet, or curl commands) to verify that the VA can communicate with the source over the required network paths. Ensuring that the VA has network access to the source can help identify if the problem is related to network configuration or firewall restrictions.
