DISMAN PING MIB
The DISMAN WG produced a MIB for performing remote pings from a remote device. This MIB was entitled the DISMAN-PING-MIB.
These modules work, but:
- They are Linux only
- Rows must be created with rowStatus createAndWait before they are populated
- Agent must run as root
- Agent is blocked while tests run
- Data format for InetAddress objects is wrong. It is ASCII, not binary
(making it easier to use from the command line, but ...)
Niels Baggesen provided the following useful script:
#!/bin/bash
WHERE=$1
KIND=$2
WHAT=$3
INX='"nba"."A"'
CRED="-v2c -cpublic -r0"
snmpset $CRED $WHERE \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlRowStatus.$INX = destroy \
snmpset $CRED $WHERE \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlRowStatus.$INX = createAndWait \
snmpset $CRED $WHERE \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlTargetAddressType.$INX = $KIND \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlTargetAddress.$INX = $WHAT \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlProbeCount.$INX = 10 \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlAdminStatus.$INX = enabled
snmpset $CRED $WHERE \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlRowStatus.$INX = active \
snmptable $CRED -Cb -Cw 120 $WHERE DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlTable
sleep 5
snmptable $CRED -Cib -Cw 120 $WHERE DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingResultsTable
snmptable $CRED -Cib -Cw 120 $WHERE DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingProbeHistoryTable
Which will let you call it like this:
./snmpping localhost ipv4 130.226.1.2
