What is switchPingRequest?

A read-write control that sends a ping to the switch module's current IP address when set to execute(1); the value returned by a GET is not meaningful, since this column exists purely to trigger the ping. An admin uses this to verify network reachability of the switch module.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.2.22.3.1.1.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BLADE-MIB::switchPingRequest

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.2.22.3.1.1.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BLADE-MIB::switchPingRequest.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.2.22.3.1.1.1.8.1 i <value>
