Overview of Router Management
1-17
• Source route data, which contains the IP addresses that you want the ping to
go through instead of those in the routing table.
• History data about previous pings that you chose to initiate at specific
intervals. See Chapter 8 for information on setting ping intervals.
To use the Ping MIB, you must first define the IP addresses that you want to ping.
You can enter the addresses of routers, host computers, or any device on the
network. The Ping MIB stores the results of the ping requests. You can then
monitor those results using the Statistics Manager in Site Manager. You might also
create your own application to query the Ping MIB, analyze the data, and generate
reports of the information. You can also use such applications as IBM
NetView/6000, SunNet Manager, and HP OpenView to work with the Ping MIB.
For more information on using the Ping MIB, refer to Chapter 8.
Keeping a Log
You should make several copies of the log on the next page to organize your
management files. Keep the log in a handy place near your Site Manager
workstation. Use this log to list the filenames and directories of all your
configuration files, trap history files, and event logs.
