configuration of ping using SNMP rw on Cisco devices

[ROMAN TOMASEK]

Hello,

the customer would like to use SNMP RW access for configuration of ping on Cisco devices. He wants to use ping with the following parameters: destination address, length, number of packets and with DF bit set (it is very important for our customer). Is possible to use SNMP RW and which MIB (OID) is possible to use for it?

Thank you very much.

Hi ,

Extendeing ping with SNMP, unfortunately this is not possible at this point, the only MIB for "ping" features is
CISCO-PING-MIB and it does not contain any OID allowing an extended ping.

Please check the below link for more information:

I hope this information will help you !!!

Hi,

thank you for your info. Is possible to use the RTTMON MIB for this ping?

Hi Roman,

Yes you can use this MIB :CISCO-RTTMON-MIB , I am not sure at what extent it will help you !!!

CISCO-RTTMON-MIB which is only supported in the newer 12.1 and 12.2 IOS versions (and later):

check the below link for more information :

Hi Afroj,

thank you very much. I thought that the RTTMON MIB supports the setting of DF bit, but it doesn't support it:-( So here is no other possibility to set DF bit in the ping request using SNMP, isn't it? Thank you for your help.
