sample-size
This command sets the total number of pings that the polling instance inspects when
determining whether a device is unreachable. If the number of pings specified by the fail-
count command go unanswered within the inspected sample, then the device is declared
unreachable.
If the numbers set in this command and fail-count command are the same, the
unanswered pings must be consecutive. If the number set by this command is greater
than that set with the
fail-count command, a device that does not always reply to pings
may be declared unreachable.
You cannot set this command’s value lower than the fail-count value.
The polling instance uses the number of pings specified by the up-count command to
determine when a device is reachable.
The no variant of this command resets this command to the default.
