Select the transmit packet size in bytes. The default value is 32 bytes. The minimum bytes you can transmit is 32 bytes. Select the poll interval time in seconds to ping the device. The default value is 300 seconds. The minimum value you can select is 10 seconds. The maximum value you can select is 3600 seconds. ( Optional) Enter comma separated IP addresses to be excluded from the range.įor example, if you enter the IP address range is 10.64.109.1-10 and you want to exclude IP addresses:10.64.109.6, 10.64.109.7, and 10.64.109.8, use one of the following options: ( Optional) Enter the group name for all IP addresses in the range. If you will leave this field blank, the group name is the IP address range. Select the items added earlier and click this option to delete that item from the list of configured objects and to clear the details provided in the earlier fields.Įnter the IP address range in the following format: IPAddress- Range.įor example, if you enter the IP address range as 10.64.109.1-10, all IP addresses in the range between 10.64.109.1 to 10.64.109.10 are configured. Select one of the items that you added to the list in the preceding step, and click this option to modify details. The default value is 1000 milliseconds. The minimum value you can select is 1 millisecond and the maximum value you can select is 30000 milliseconds.Ĭlick this option for confirming the configuration information that you provided. The minimum value you can select is 1 and the maximum value you can select is 10.Įnter the timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply.

Select the number of echo request messages to send. The default value is 4. The maximum bytes you can transmit is 65500 bytes.

Select the transmit packet size in bytes.The default value is 32 bytes. The minimum bytes you can transmit is 32 bytes. The minimum value you can select is 10 seconds. The maximum value you can select is 3600 seconds.

Select the poll interval time in seconds to ping the device. The default value is 300 seconds. If the IP address is static, the device communicates with the DNS server only once to resolve the IP address. If the IP address is dynamic, the device communicates with the DNS server during each poll interval to resolve the IP address.ĭisable this option to configure the device with static the IP address. If you have selected the IPv6 protocol, then the device is pinged using the IPv6 address.Įnable this option to configure the device with the dynamic IP address. WhatsUp Gold supports both IPv6 and IPv4 ICMP, and provides comprehensive monitoring for devices enabled with both versions.If you have selected the IPv4 protocol, then the device is pinged using the IPv4 address. Types and hence use the correct version depending on the IP address provided.

This allows the monitoring software’s ping monitor tool to send ICMP pings that can distinguish between the address With the advent of IPv6 in network addressing, network monitoring solutions are increasingly equipped with ICMPv6 (ICMP for IPv6). Ping monitorsĪre configurable, and the administrator can predefine statistics like timeout, payload size, and the number of retries before a connection is considered down. They also provide ping statistics information including uptime, lost packets, failed pings, maximum/minimum and average roundtrip times for the ICMP packets – these can then be used to evaluate the status of the monitored connection. Ping monitors use regular pings to automatically check device connections, detect outages and downtimes. Monitor network availability, uptimes, connection state and statistics. Ping, enhanced ping, SNMP ping, proxy ping and graphical ping are predominantly used to check network availability and health.Īll network monitoring software comes loaded with a ping monitor tool to constantly Ping is one of the most basic commands in network management, verifying network connectivity through the roundtrip times taken by the ICMP protocol packets sent to a target host.
