- Hello,
-
- The cisco ping variables takes the following instance identifiers:
-
- 1 - IP protocol ping
- IP - address to ping
- integer - count of packets to send
- integer - size of ping packet
- integer - timeout delay between packets
-
- Thus a full object id is
-
- .1.3.6.1.9.2.1.7 object name
- .1.a.b.c.d.c.s.t
-
- where 1 is the IP protocol ping,
- a.b.c.d is the IP address to ping
- c is count packets to send
- s is each packet will be this large in bytes
- t is the timeout in seconds.
-
- Hope this helps,
-
