Echo Replys (icmpInReps, icmpOutReps)
The number of ICMP echo reply messages received/sent. An echo reply is a response to an echo request. Send
echos (icmpOutEchos) will increment when the access server is pinged.
Time Stamps (icmpInTimestamps, icmpInTimestamps)
The number of ICMP time stamp messages received/sent. Time stamp and time stamp replies were originally
designed into the ICMP facility to allow network clock synchronization. Subsequently, a new protocol—Net-
work time protocol (NTP) has taken over this function. Normally, this number will be zero.
Time Stamp Replys (icmpInTimestampsReps) (icmpOutTimestampsReps)
The number of ICMP timestamp reply messages received/sent. This message is part of a time stamp (see “Time
Stamps (icmpInTimestamps, icmpInTimestamps)”) request. Normally, this number will be zero.
Address Mask Requests (icmpInAddrMasks) (icmpOutAddrMasks)
The number of ICMP address mask request messages received/sent. this message is generally used for diskless
workstations which use this request at boot time to obtain their subnet mask. This number will increase if there
are hosts on the network which broadcast these requests.
Address Mask Replys (icmpInAddrMasksReps) (icmpOutAddrMasksReps)
The number of ICMP address mask reply messages received/sent. Normally, this number will be zero.
Addressing Information
The IP addressing Information window (see figure 81 ) is where you can view the default address for outgoing IP
datagrams, the local or loopback address of the box, and the IP address of the box as defined in 20, “System” on page
230.
