RTP tests offer more complex settings than ping tests and it maybe worthwhile having multiple tests to the same endpoint with different settings to see whether there is an impact on the metrics gathered. See “Troubleshooting” on page 35 for more information about RTP tests.
Ping Tests
The following is an example displays two ping tests with different settings. As you can see only the first 6 columns contain data. QoS data can only be gathered using RTP tests.
Columns in the Network Path View
The columns in the Network Path View window are as follows:
To Endpoint | The endpoint the test is against, typically an edge PC. The icon |
| indicates the type of test. The phone icon represents an RTP test |
| and the computer icon represents a ping test. |
|
|
Test Type | Shows more precisely the type of tests. For RTP tests, this can |
| say G.711 or G.729, representing the different codecs. For ping |
| tests, this will be ICMP or UDP. |
|
|
Test Status | Indicates the last known state of a test. RTP tests can go into the |
| OK, Failed and Timeout categories. |
| - OK - The endpoint responded successfully. |
| - Not Pingable - The endpoint is not pingable. |
| - Timeout - A ping request was sent, but a response was |
| not received. |
| - Off Path - A ping response was received from a device |
| not located on the tracerouted path. |
| - Failed – No results returned for the RTP test |
|
|
Tracert Status | Indicates whether traceroute is enabled or disabled for a path. |
| Will be automatically off if the test is in the same subnet. |
|
|
SNMP Status | Displays whether there is a router/switch in the path which can |
| be contacted using SNMP. |
| - OK - SNMP status was successfully obtained. |
| - Not Contactable - The device cannot be contacted. |
| - Not Supported - The device does not support SNMP |
| queries, or the SNMP Polling option has been deselected.. |
| - Timeout - The device did not respond to an SNMP query |
| in time. |
