hpicfIpGlobalPingRouter

Module: HP-ICF-BASIC

OID (symbolic): HP-ICF-BASIC::hpicfIpGlobalPingRouter

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.4.8.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-write

Description: This object is used to configure whether this device will periodically send ICMP echo request packets to its IP default router. Since a networking device typically does not transmit unless it receives a management request, and since some autodiscovery applications work by scanning ARP caches, this ICMP echo can be used to try to stay in our default router's ARP cache so that we can be discovered. This object allows the network manager to enable or disable sending these ICMP echo requests. The value of this object is ignored when ipForwarding is equal to 'forwarding'.

What is hpicfIpGlobalPingRouter?

This boolean controls whether the device periodically sends ICMP echo requests to its configured default router, a technique used to keep the device visible in the router's ARP cache for discovery tools; it has no effect when the device is acting as an IP forwarder. Admins enable it on management-only devices that otherwise rarely originate traffic on their own.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.4.8.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HP-ICF-BASIC::hpicfIpGlobalPingRouter

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.4.8.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HP-ICF-BASIC::hpicfIpGlobalPingRouter.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.4.8.4.1 s <value>
