A ping request entry.
A management station wishing to create an entry
should generate a pseudo-random number to be
used as an index into this table and create an
instance of the fcPingRowStatus object. After that,
the management station should set the corresponding
instance of fcPingAddress object with the address of
the destination that should be pinged and
fcPingVsanIndex with the desired VSAN number.
Once the appropriate instance of all the configuration
objects have been created, either by an explicit SNMP
set request or by default, the row status should be
set to active to initiate the ping sequence. Note that
this entire procedure may be initiated via a single
set request which specifies a row status of
createAndGo as well as specifies valid values for the
non-defaulted configuration objects.
Once the ping sequence has been initiated it can
be stopped by setting the corresponding instance
of fcPingRowStatus to 'destroy'.
The results of the ping operation are made available
in the fcPingStats table. For a ping entry uniquely
identified by fcPingIndex, an entry will be created
in the fcPingStats table automatically by the agent.
Once the ping sequence completes, the management
station should retrieve the statistics of interest
from the fcPingStats table and delete the entry from
the fcPingTable. The corresponding entry in the
fcPingStats table shall be deleted automatically by
the agent.
In order to prevent old entries from clogging the
table, entries will be aged out, but an entry will
never be deleted within fcPingAgeInterval
milliseconds of completing.
If the management station wishes to repeat the ping
sequence to a particular destination, then it will
need to set the corresponding instance of
fcPingAdminStatus to 'enable' again.

A ping statistics entry.
An entry shall be created automatically in this
table whenever a ping request is activated in the
fcPingTable by setting the fcPingRowStatus to
'active'. This entry shall have the same indices
as the entry that got activated in the fcPingTable.
An entry in this table shall be deleted by the
agent automatically either when the corresponding
entry in the fcPingTable is deleted by the
management station or is aged out by the agent.
This table shall be empty if there is no 'active'
entry in the fcPingTable.

The index of a ping entry. This object uniquely
identifies a ping request entry on a VSAN.

This object identifies the VSAN to which this ping
request belongs. This object cannot be modified
if the corresponding instance of fcPingOperStatus
object has a value of 'inProgress'.

The format of the corresponding instance of
fcPingAddress object.

The address of the device to be pinged.
If the value of the corresponding instance of
fcPingAddressType object is 'wwn', then this
object will contain an 8 octet long WWN.
If the value of the corresponding instance of
fcPingAddressType object is 'fcid', then this
object will contain a 3 octet long FCID.
This object MUST be set to a valid value before
or concurrently with setting the corresponding
instance of fcPingRowStatus to 'active'.

The number of ping packets to be sent to the
target in this sequence. This object cannot
be modified if the corresponding instance
of fcPingOperStatus object has a value of
'inProgress'.

This object specifies the size of the ping packet
payload to be sent to the target in this sequence.
This object cannot be modified if the
corresponding instance of fcPingOperStatus object
has a value of 'inProgress'.

The amount of time to wait for a response to a
transmitted packet before declaring the packet
'dropped'. This object cannot be modified if
the corresponding instance of fcPingOperStatus
object has a value of 'inProgress'.

The minimum amount of time to wait before sending
the next packet in a sequence, after receiving a
response or declaring a timeout for a previously
transmitted packet. This object cannot be
modified if the corresponding instance of
fcPingOperStatus object has a value of
'inProgress'.

The amount of time to wait after the ping sequence
completes before the ping entry is aged out.
This object cannot be modified if the
corresponding instance of fcPingOperStatus object
has a value of 'inProgress'.

This object determines the queuing priority
and drop probability this sequence of ping
packets experience in the switches through
which they pass through.
If the value of this object is set to 'high',
then the corresponding sequence of packets
will experience high queueing priority and
low drop probability in the switches through
which they pass through.
If the value of this object is set to 'low',
then the corresponding sequence of packets
will experience low queueing priority and
higher drop probability in the switches
through which they pass through.
This object cannot be modified if the
corresponding instance of fcPingOperStatus
object has a value of 'inProgress'.

This object specifies the desired state that a
fcPingEntry should be in:
enable(1)  -  Attempt to activate the ping as
defined by this entry.
disable(2) -  Deactivate the ping as defined by
this entry.
The actual operational state of this test is
indicated by the corresponding instance of
fcPingOperStatus.
When the ping sequence corresponding to this entry
is executing, this object cannot be modified. If this
object is read at such a time, a value of 'enable'
will be returned. When the ping sequence completes,
the value of this object will be made 'disable'
automatically by the agent.

This object indicates the operational status
of this fcPingEntry.
inProgress(1)  -  Indicates that the ping sequence
as defined by this instance of
fcPingEntry is currently running.
complete(2)    -  Indicates that the ping sequence
as defined by this instance of
fcPingEntry is currently
complete.
disabled(3)    -  Indicates that the ping sequence
as defined by this instance of
fcPingEntry is currently disabled.
failure(4)     -  Indicates that the ping sequence
as defined by this instance of
fcPingEntry has currently failed
due to resource limitations.
Initially the value of this object will be
'inProgress' when the ping sequence is being
executed. Once the ping sequence is completed,
the value of this object will transition to
'complete'.
If the value of the corresponding instance of
fcPingAdminStatus is 'disable', then this object
will have a value of 'disabled'.

This specifies if fcPingCompletionNotify notification
should be generated or not when the corresponding
ping sequence completes.
If this object is set to 'true', then the
notification is generated.
If this object is set to 'false', then the
notification is not generated.
This object cannot be modified if the
corresponding instance of fcPingOperStatus
object has a value of 'inProgress'.

The status of this conceptual row.
When a ping sequence is being executed, if this
object is set to 'destroy', then the
corresponding ping sequence will be stopped.

The number of ping packets sent to the target in
this sequence.

The number of ping packets received from the target
in this sequence.

The minimum round trip time of all the packets that
have been sent in this sequence.

The average round trip time of all the packets that
have been sent in this sequence.

The maximum round trip time of all the packets that
have been sent in this sequence.

The number of timeouts encountered in this sequence.

A table of ping request entries.
This table contains a set of ping requests
which need to be executed at the agent.

A table of ping statistics.
The statistics corresponding to the entries
in the fcPingTable. When an entry is deleted
in the fcPingTable, the corresponding entry
in this table is deleted automatically by
the agent.

This notification is generated whenever a sequence
of pings is complete and the corresponding instance
of fcPingTrapOnCompletion object has been set to
'true'.

Fibre Channel Ping.
