What Is AT-PING-MIB?

AT-PING-MIB is Allied Telesis's private MIB implementing an SNMP-triggered ICMP ping test facility, allowing a management station to remotely initiate connectivity tests from the device itself. It exposes a ping request/result table where an operator configures target address, packet count, packet size, delay, and type-of-service, then reads back status and statistics once the test completes, with optional trap notification on completion. This is a software-driven diagnostic tool rather than hardware health monitoring - it lets an administrator verify network reachability and round-trip behavior from the perspective of the managed device itself. It relies on standard ICMP concepts but is implemented as an Allied Telesis enterprise MIB rather than a published IETF ping MIB (though conceptually similar to DISMAN-PING-MIB). It is used in Allied Telesis switch/router deployments for remote network diagnostics without needing direct device access. Engineers can download the AT-PING-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in AT-PING-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Monitoring Examples

An administrator creates an entry in pingTable/pingEntry specifying pingAddress, pingNumberOfPackets, and pingPacketSize, then monitors pingStatus and pingStatistics to determine round-trip success or failure, optionally receiving a pingTraps notification via pingTrapOnCompletion. If pingStatistics shows high packet loss or the pingStatus indicates timeout, this reveals a reachability problem between the device and the target address, useful for confirming whether a downstream link or remote host is actually unreachable versus a local interface fault.

What Can Be Monitored

ping test target address
packet count and size configuration
ping delay/timeout setting
ping test completion status
ping round-trip statistics

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
ping	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58			This MIB file contains definitions of managed objects for the PING module.
pingTraps	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.0
NTF pingCompletionTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.0.1			A ping trap is generated when a ping has completed. Traps are only generated if the variable pingTrapOnCompletion is set to true(1) in the dynamic ping entry. A trap is still generated if the ping is stopped prematurely by setting the variable pingStatus to stop/stopped(2).
pingTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1		not-accessible	The table of ping parameters, dynamic and static.
pingEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1		not-accessible	A single entry of ping parameters. This contains the parameters required to perform a ping from the router. The ping specified by the dynamic parameters, can be initiated or stopped at any time by altering the pingStatus accordingly.
INT pingIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	There are two sets of ping information, dynamic and static. The dynamic information is used only once, for the next ping, then automatically replaced with the static information. The static information is used whenever specific dynamic information is not specified. The dynamic information indicates the current ping parameters when a ping is in progress. If static information is not specified, defaults are used. Static information can be changed at any time, but dynamic information cannot be changed while a ping is in progress. A change to the static information when a ping is not currently active, also updates the dynamic information.
INT pingProtocol	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	The protocol that the ping will use. The protocol must match the destination address. Ping supports both IP, IPX, Appletalk, and OSI addresses. The protocol must be specified before the address is set, because when the protocol is changed, address is reset to undefined. The default value for this variable is undefined(0).
OCT pingAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1.3	OCTET STRING	read-write	The address specifies the destination address for ping packets for Appletalk, IP, IPX and OSI networks, respectively. The address format must match the protocol being used. The protocol must be specified before the address is set, because changing the protocol resets the address to undefined. The default value for this variable is an undefined address which is coded as a zero length octet string.
INT pingNumberOfPackets	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1.4	INTEGER	read-write	The number of ping packets to transmit.
INT pingPacketSize	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1.5	INTEGER	read-write	The packet size parameter specifies the length in bytes, of data to include in the data portion of the ping packet. The protocol packet header size and the size of headers for the particular link protocol in use have to be added to the packet size to get the total size of the ping packet. The maximum pingPacketSize can be set to is 1500.
INT pingTimeout	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1.6	INTEGER	read-write	Timeout specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a response to a ping packet.
INT pingDelay	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1.7	INTEGER	read-write	The delay parameter specifies the time interval, in seconds, between ping packets.
T/F pingTrapOnCompletion	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1.8	TruthValue	read-write	Specifies whether a trap should be issued on completion of the sequence of pings.
INT pingTypeOfService	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1.9	INTEGER	read-write	The Type Of Service (TOS) parameter is only valid for IP addresses, and specifies the TOS field in the IP header of the ping packet, as a decimal in the range 0 to 255.
U32 pingPattern	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.1.1.10	Unsigned32	read-write	The pattern parameter specifies the data pattern to use in the data portion of the ping packet.
INT pingStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.2	INTEGER	read-write	Status and action object for the ping module. A status of '1' indicates that the ping is currently running, the status can be set to '2' to stop the ping. A status of '2' indicates that the ping is currently stopped, the pingStatus can be set to '1' to start the ping. The parameters for the ping can be altered in the pingTable. The destination ping address and protocol have defaults of undefined and must be specified before a ping can be started. The ping statistics are reset to defaults when a ping is started, and updated when the ping stops. Dynamic pingTable information is used only once, for the next ping. Static pingTable information is used for all pings by default, whenever the respective dynamic settings are not specified.
pingStatistics	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.3
INT pingSentPackets	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.3.1	INTEGER	read-only	The number of ping packets sent to the target in the last ping. The default before the completion of a ping is zero.
INT pingReceivedPackets	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.3.2	INTEGER	read-only	The number of packets received from the target in the last ping. The default before the completion of a ping is zero.
INT pingMinimumRoundTripTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.3.3	INTEGER	read-only	The quickest round trip time taken by any of the ping packets in milliseconds in the last ping. The default before the completion of a ping is zero.
INT pingAverageRoundTripTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.3.4	INTEGER	read-only	The average round trip time taken by the ping packets in milliseconds in the last ping. The default before the completion of a ping is zero.
INT pingMaximumRoundTripTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.4.58.3.5	INTEGER	read-only	The slowest round trip time taken by any of the ping packets in milliseconds in the last ping. The default before the completion of a ping is zero.
