Object Name
Description
pingCtlDSField
This object specifies the value to store in the Differentiated
Services (DS) Field in the IP packet used to encapsulate the
ping probe. The DS Field is defined as the Type of Service
(TOS) octet in an IPv4 header or as the Traffic Class octet in
a IPv6 header.
The value of this object must be a decimal integer in the
range from 0 to 255. This option can be used to determine
what effect an explicit DS Field setting has on a ping
response. Not all values are legal or meaningful. A value of
0 means that the function represented by this option is not
supported. DS Field usage is often not supported by IP
implementations and not all values are supported. Refer to
RFC 2474 for guidance on usage of this field.
pingCtlRowStatus
This object allows entries to be created and deleted in the
pingCtlTable. Deletion of an entry in this table results in all
corresponding (same pingCtlOwnerIndex and
pingCtlTestName index values) pingResultsTable and
pingProbeHistoryTable entries being deleted.
A value MUST be specified for pingCtlTargetAddress prior
to a transition to active(1) state being accepted.
Activation of a remote ping operation is controlled via
pingCtlAdminStatus and not by changing this object's value
to active(1).
Transitions in and out of active(1) state are not allowed while
an entry's pingResultsOperStatus is active(1) with the
exception that deletion of an entry in this table by setting its
RowStatus object to destroy(6) will stop an active ping
operation.
The operational state of a ping operation can be determined
by examination of its pingResultsOperStatus object.
pingResultsTable
This table defines the pingResultsTable for providing the capability of performing ping operations
at a remote host. The results of these operations are stored in the pingResultsTable and the
pingPastProbeTable. An entry is added to the pingResultsTable when an pingCtlEntry is started by
successful transition of its pingCtlAdminStatus object to enabled(1).
This table contains the following objects:
