814 CHAPTER 77: REMOTE PING CONFIGURATIONS
2 Test type
Currently, Remote Ping supports only one test type: ICMP.
3 Number of test packets sent in a test
If this parameter is set to a number greater than one, the system sends the second
test packet once it receives a response to the first one, or when the test timer
times out if it receives no response after sending the first one, and so forth until
the last test packet is sent out. This parameter is equivalent to the -n keyword in
the ping command.
4 Automatic test interval
This parameter is used to allow the system to automatically perform the same test
at regular intervals.
5 Test timeout time
Test timeout time is the time the system waits for an ECHO-RESPONSE packet after
it sends out an ECHO-REQUEST packet. If no ECHO-RESPONSE packet is received
within this time, this test is considered a failure. This parameter is similar to the -t
keyword in the ping command, but has a different unit (the -t keyword in the
ping command is in ms, while the timeout time in the Remote Ping command is
in seconds).
