length (ping-poll data)
This command specifies the number of data bytes to include in the data portion of the
ping packet. This allows you to set the ping packets to a larger size if you find that larger
packet types in your network are not reaching the polled device, while smaller packets are
getting through. This encourages the polling instance to change the device’s status to
unreachable when the network is dropping packets of the size you are interested in.
The no variant of this command resets the data bytes to the default of 32 bytes.
Syntax length <4-1500>

Default The default is 32.
