etsysTrackedObjectsProbeType 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.79.1.2.1.1.4

The type of connection used when contacting the remote service. icmp(1) - Issues an ICMP echo request and expects an echo reply from the remote service. Probes of this type determine the state of the remote service. udp(2) - Sends a UDP request using either the etsysTrackedObjectsProbeAcvRequest string or a generic '\r\n'. If its an ACV request, the system expects an ACV reply. If its a generic request, no reply is expected. Probes of this type determine the state of the remote service. tcp(3) - Sets up a 3-way handshake with the remote service. If etsysTrackedObjectsProbeAcvRequest is configured, that string is sent over the connected socket, and an ACV reply is expected. If that object is not configured, then the connection is closed. Probes of this type determine the state of the remote service. icmpTs(4) - Issues an ICMP echo request and expects an echo reply. The echo request contains a timestamp of the transmit time. The echo reply includes the timestamp of the received echo request and the transmit timestamp of the echo reply. Upon receiving the echo reply, the application adds a final timestamp for the receive time. Hosts: L - Local Host, D - Destination Host Timestamps: ETxTs - Echo Request Transmit Timestamp ERxTs - Echo Request Receive Timestamp RTxTs - Echo Reply Transmit Timestamp RRxTs - Echo Reply Receive Timestamp L ----- Echo Request (ETxTs) --------------> D L <---- Echo Reply (ETxTs, ERxTs, RTxTs)---- D L (Adds RRxTs) Notes: In order for the echo reply to contain the extra timestamps, the destinaton host MUST be an Enterasys device that supports the 'icmpTs' type. However, it is not a requirement that the destination host be an Enterasys device, nor does an Enterasys device have to support the 'icmpTs' type for the probe to operate correctly. In this situation, the client applications will have to handle the ERxTs and RTxTs values being zero. Probes of this type collect timestamp information for the client applications. These probes DO NOT determine the state of the remote service. Additional objects are found in the etsysTrackedObjectsProbeTsTable. The value of this object MAY NOT be modified after creating the row.
