This section contains information on remote-ping.
The configuration tasks for remote-ping include:
Enabling remote-ping Client
■
Creating test group
■
Configuring test parameters
■
The test parameters that you can configure include:
Destination IP address
■
It is equivalent to the destination IP address in the ping command.
Test type. Currently, remote-ping supports only one test type: ICMP.
Number of test packets sent in a test
■
If this parameter is set to a number greater than one, the system sends the second
test packet once it receives a response to the first one, or when the test timer times
out if it receives no response after sending the first one, and so forth until the last test
packet is sent out. This parameter is equivalent to the -n parameter in the ping
command.
Automatic test interval. This parameter is used to allow the system to automatically
perform the same test at regular intervals.
Test timeout time
■
Test timeout time is the time the system waits for an ECHO-RESPONSE packet after it
sends out an ECHO-REQUEST packet. If no ECHO-RESPONSE packet is received within
this time, this test is considered a failure. This parameter is similar to the -t parameter
in the ping command, but has a different unit (the -t parameter in the ping command
is in ms, while the timeout time in the remote-ping command is in seconds).
Refer to Table 519 for remote-ping configuration information.
