REMOTE PING CONFIGURATIONS
Introduction to
Remote Ping
Remote Ping is a network diagnostic tool used to test the performance of
protocols (only ICMP by far) operating on network. It is an enhanced alternative to
the ping command.
Remote Ping test group is a set of Remote Ping test parameters. A test group
contains several test parameters and is uniquely identified by an administrator
name plus a test tag.
You can perform an Remote Ping test after creating a test group and configuring
the test parameters.
Being different from the ping command, Remote Ping does not display the round
trip time (RTT) and timeout status of each packet on the console terminal in real
time. You need to execute the display remote ping command to view the
statistic results of your Remote Ping test operation. Remote Ping allows
administrators to set the parameters of Remote Ping test groups and start Remote
Ping test operations.
