DISMAN PING MIB - fenner/net-snmp-wiki-experiment GitHub Wiki
The DISMAN WG produced a MIB for performing remote pings from a remote device. This MIB was entitled the DISMAN-PING-MIB.
Net-SNMP Implementation Notes
These modules work, but:
- They are Linux only
- Rows must be created with rowStatus createAndWait before they are populated
- Agent must run as root
- Agent is blocked while tests run
- Data format for InetAddress objects is wrong. It is ASCII, not binary
(making it easier to use from the command line, but ...)
Helpful Script
Niels Baggesen provided the following useful script:
#!/bin/bash
WHERE=$1
KIND=$2
WHAT=$3
INX='"nba"."A"'
CRED="-v2c -cpublic -r0"
snmpset $CRED $WHERE \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlRowStatus.$INX = destroy \
snmpset $CRED $WHERE \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlRowStatus.$INX = createAndWait \
snmpset $CRED $WHERE \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlTargetAddressType.$INX = $KIND \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlTargetAddress.$INX = $WHAT \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlProbeCount.$INX = 10 \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlAdminStatus.$INX = enabled
snmpset $CRED $WHERE \
DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlRowStatus.$INX = active \
snmptable $CRED -Cb -Cw 120 $WHERE DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingCtlTable
sleep 5
snmptable $CRED -Cib -Cw 120 $WHERE DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingResultsTable
snmptable $CRED -Cib -Cw 120 $WHERE DISMAN-PING-MIB::pingProbeHistoryTable
Which will let you call it like this:
./snmpping localhost ipv4 130.226.1.2
