- The instance identifier for the ping object is:
-
- proto.addr.count.size.timeout
-
- where
-
- proto 1 for IP, 2 for Appletalk
- addr an IP address
- count the number of echo requests to send
- size bytes in each echo request packet
- timeout seconds to wait for a reply to each echo request
-
- For example, setting
-
- iso.org.dod.inet.priv.enter.cisco.local.system.ping.1.131.108.2.238.45.64.2
-
- to any value will cause 45 64-byte IP pings to be sent to
- 131.108.2.238, with a timeout value of 2 seconds.
-
- The value returned from a SNMP Set is an integer specifying the number
- of echo replies received. The value returned from a SNMP Get is 0, as
- no pings are done. SNMP GetNext skips this object.
-
- The implementation of this object is marginal, so expect it to
- misbehave if you don't invoke it correctly. Also, while the pings are
- running, the snmp server is unable to process other requests.
