device:
Displays the numeric (non DNS address) destination for the device transmitted the
ping packets.
Displays the number of packets transmitted to the target device IP address.
Compare this value with the number of packets received to assess the connection
quality with the target device.
Displays the number of packets received from the target device. If this number is
significantly lower than the number sent to the target device, consider removing this
device from consideration for permanent connection with the switch.
Displays the quickest round trip time for ping packets transmitted from the switch to
its destination IP address. This may reflect the time when data traffic was at its
lowest for the two devices.
Displays the longest round trip time for ping packets transmitted from the switch to
its destination IP address. This may reflect the time when data traffic was at its
most congested for the two devices.
Displays the average round trip time for ping packets transmitted between the
switch and its destination IP address. Use this value as a general baseline (along
with packets sent vs packets received) for the overall connection and association
potential between the switch and target device.
Displays the time (in seconds) the switch last "heard" the destination IP address
over the switch managed network. Use this time (in contention with the RTT values
displayed) to determine whether this device warrants a permanent switch
connection.
