The Ping Window allows
the user to initiate ping processes from the managed device to IP hosts in the
network. This is an easy way to test the
IP level connectivity to a given IP host.
The Ping Window allows
both monitoring and control.
IP Address - is the IP address of the IP host
addressed by the Ping Process. If the Ping Process is inactive the user may
fill in this field with the IP address of the target IP host.
Number - is the number of Ping (ICMP) requests
that the device should send when the Ping Process is started. If the Ping Process is inactive, the user may
fill in this field with the desired number.
Use the value 0 to have the managed device ping continuously until
stopped.
Requests - is the number of ICMP requests
generated so far by the managed device.
Responses - is the number of ICMP responses
received.
Owner - indicates whether the Ping Process was
started from the NMS or from the Administrative Interface. After a reset cycle this field is Undefined.
Start/Stop - button allows the user to start/stop the Ping Process.
