To add more IT devices, repeat the same steps.
Initially, the status of the added IT equipment shows "Waiting for reliable connection," which means the requested number
of consecutive successful or unsuccessful pings has not been reached before the PDU can declare that the monitored
device is reachable or unreachable.
To check the component monitoring states and results:
1.
After adding IT equipment for monitoring, all IT devices are listed on the Component Reachability page.
2.
The column labeled "Ping Enabled" indicates whether the monitoring for the corresponding IT device is activated or
not.
3.
The column labeled "Status" indicates the accessibility of each monitored equipment.
Status
Description
Reachable
