RE: [SA-list] Ping latency

[Dirk Bulinckx]

Increase the timeout for those checks within Servers Alive. HOWEVER take in account how the ping actualy works.     * Multi ping NOT enabled (advanced setup - checking tab)             1 ICMP (ping) frame is send a SA will wait a max of <timeout>       * Multi ping is ENABLED         <frames to send> frames will be send         If you get a least <successrate>% of the frames to return correctly it's an up.         Example:             <frames to send>=5             <succesrate>= 80               timeout of the entry = 10                   frame 1 is send          if you get a correct response within 10 / 5 = 2 seconds then this frame was successfully send                        frame 2 is send          if you get a correct response within 10 / 5 = 2 seconds then this frame was successfully send                        frame 3 is send          if you get a correct response within 10 / 5 = 2 seconds then this frame was successfully send                        frame 4 is send          if you get a correct response within 10 / 5 = 2 seconds then this frame was successfully send                        frame 5 is send          if you get a correct response within 10 / 5 = 2 seconds then this frame was successfully send                => let's say that 3 out of the 5 frames gave a correct response => 60% was successfull => that's below the requested 80% => DOWN for this entry     Hope this helps.     dirk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ozgur GULTEKIN Sent: Thu Jan 02 10:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SA-list] Running SA As Service I have a definition for checking the connectivity of the wide area link using the ping utility.  However, wide area connection is timing out and sending me fault alarms due to long latency.  I receive reply packets when I increase the latency using ping command with latency 10000 (ping x.x.x.x -w 10000).  Is there a way to defıne the latency in the salive or any trick that might be usefull for this purpose?   Regards �ZG�R G�LTEKİN IS SYSTEMS ENGINEER NETWORKS & SECURITY NORTEL NETWORKS / NETAS ESN   :   8222923 Tel     :   090 216 5222923 Fax    :   090 216 5222222 E-mail :  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Nortel Networks Netas 35 years in communications
