Hello all,

Does anyone out there have device support for issuing a ping to a
network device or a block of network devices.

Hi, Phil.

Why do you want this?

If you're trying to monitor whether a network device is up, there may
be some solutions out there, but they may or may not use an actual ICMP
echo request.  See this Tech-Talk thread:

The initial use is seeing that a network device such as an ethernet-to-serial converter or a network switch is on the network to give a "useful" alarm condition that points to directly to the problem instead of needing to know that if there is an error for some group of devices, it is probably this device. I might also want to disable all records use a device that is not working to reduce Alarms and error messages.

I am open to other suggestions, if you have them.

Phil
