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.
