Monitoring Network Activity Using the Ping MIB

You can track network availability and response time using the ping MIB. The

ping MIB supports IP ping requests only. The ping MIB is a group of tables that

stores the following information for one or more ping requests:

• General ping information, such as the address you want to ping, whether you

want to use trace routing and source routing, and the frequency of the ping

• Trace route data that shows the IP addresses the ping went through to reach its

destination

• Source route data, which contains the IP addresses that you want the ping to

go through instead of those in the routing table

• History data about previous pings that you chose to initiate at specific

intervals

You work with the ping MIB as a diagnostic tool, which distinguishes it from the

Ping from Router option described in “Checking Router Connections Using Ping

”

on page 11-2

To use the ping MIB, you must first define the IP addresses that you want to ping.

You can enter the addresses of routers, host computers, or any device on the

network. The ping MIB stores the results of the ping requests. You can then

monitor those results using the Statistics Manager in Site Manager. You can also

create your own application to query the ping MIB, analyze the data, and generate

reports of the information.

In addition to the Statistics Manager, you can use applications such as IBM

NetView/6000, SunNet Manager, and HP OpenView to work with the ping MIB.

To use the ping MIB to track network availability and response time, you must:

• Configure IP ping requests.

• Review IP ping statistics.

The sections that follow explain how to do this.
