icmpEchoReq 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.7.1

The number of milliseconds it takes for an ICMP echo request to respond. IcmpEchoReq is -1 if there is an internal error, -2 if the echo request timed out, -3 if the echo reply is not the correct reply, -4 if the packet size is too large, and -5 if the timeout is invalid. To request the ICMP response time for IP address a1.a2.a3.a4 with a timeout of t and a packet size of s, send a request for icmpEchoReq.s.t.a1.a2.a3.a4. For example, suppose one wanted to find out the number of milliseconds it took to ping 15.2.112.113, with time out of 8 seconds, and packet size of 75. Accordingly, icmpEchoReq.75.8.15.2.112.113 would identify the number of milliseconds. This MIB object is there only to provide for backward compatibility. A new MIB object is provided which does not violate the SNMP standards too, 'icmp.icmpEchoReqTable.icmpEchoReqEntry.icmpEchoReqTime'. This new MIB object is recommended to be used to achieve the same funtionality as provided by this (icmp.icmpEchoReq) MIB object.
