H.323 Signaling Group Ping Test (#1387)
This test is Nondestructive.
This test is only run for those signaling groups that have an administered far-end
IP address. If the H.323 signaling group does not have an administered far-end IP
address, the test will abort.
The test determines the local CLAN through which the signaling originates, and
the far-end terminating IP address. It then requests the local CLAN to execute a
PING on the far-end address. If the PING is successful, the test passes; if the ping
is not successful, the test fails.
NOTE:
Multiple failures of this test can take the H.323 signaling group out of
service.
If the PING is successful, this test looks at the PING round trip delay. If a round
trip delay of greater than 4 seconds is reported, a separate error is logged.
Excessive round trip delays within the signaling group will not take the signaling
group out of service, however.
Services can execute the standard PING command using the CLAN board
address and far-end IP address from the signaling group form to see the actual
round-trip delay.
This test checks the circuitry involved in the data path of a peer-to-peer IP layer
connection.
This test is a nondestructive test. It runs because of in-line errors, during periodic
and scheduled maintenance, and on-demand.

Description/ Recommendation
1, 2
ABORT
Internal Error.
Retry the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 3 times.

ABORT
Destination unreachable.
Verify that the CLAN has been administered with an IP-Route that
enables the CLAN to reach the FAR-END IP address
Once verified, execute test sig-group grp# command to verify that
the H.323 Signaling Group Ping Test (#1387) passes.
