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.
