AppleTalk Ping Responses
Site Manager displays one of the following messages when you issue an
AppleTalk ping (if you enter a value for Retries, Site Manager displays one of the
following messages for the default ping, plus one for each additional ping):
• An “alive” message appears if the router receives a response from the target
device within the timeout allowed. The message also indicates the size of the
test packet. A sample message follows:
AppleTalk ping: 2553.217 is alive (size = 16 bytes)
• A “does not respond” message appears if the address of the target device is
resolved, but the system did not receive a response from the target device
within the timeout allowed. A sample message follows:
AppleTalk ping: 2553.217 does not respond
• A target address “is unreachable” message appears if the router cannot find
the specified address in its routing table. A sample message follows:
AppleTalk ping: 2553.217 is unreachable
• A “resource error” message appears if the router cannot allocate a buffer for
the request because no buffers are available. A sample message follows:
AppleTalk ping: resource error
• An “invalid parameter specified” message appears if you specify an invalid
parameter when you issue an AppleTalk ping. A sample message follows:
AppleTalk ping: invalid parameter specified
• An “AppleTalk service is not running” message appears if the AppleTalk
service is not enabled on the router. A sample message follows:
AppleTalk ping: Appletalk service is not running
APPN Ping
When you issue an APPN ping to a remote APPN device, the remote device
responds if it can be reached, and Site Manager displays the response or the result
of the request. APPN ping uses the APING (APPN Ping) Transaction Program
(TP) to send an APING request to the APINGD TP running on the remote device.
