fcPingEntry

A ping request entry.
            
A management station wishing to create an entry
should generate a pseudo-random number to be 
used as an index into this table and create an 
instance of the fcPingRowStatus object. After that, 
the management station should set the corresponding 
instance of fcPingAddress object with the address of 
the destination that should be pinged and 
fcPingVsanIndex with the desired VSAN number.
            
Once the appropriate instance of all the configuration
objects have been created, either by an explicit SNMP
set request or by default, the row status should be 
set to active to initiate the ping sequence. Note that
this entire procedure may be initiated via a single
set request which specifies a row status of 
createAndGo as well as specifies valid values for the 
non-defaulted configuration objects. 
            
Once the ping sequence has been initiated it can
be stopped by setting the corresponding instance
of fcPingRowStatus to 'destroy'.
            
The results of the ping operation are made available
in the fcPingStats table. For a ping entry uniquely
identified by fcPingIndex, an entry will be created 
in the fcPingStats table automatically by the agent. 
            
Once the ping sequence completes, the management 
station should retrieve the statistics of interest 
from the fcPingStats table and delete the entry from 
the fcPingTable. The corresponding entry in the
fcPingStats table shall be deleted automatically by 
the agent.
            
In order to prevent old entries from clogging the 
table, entries will be aged out, but an entry will 
never be deleted within fcPingAgeInterval 
milliseconds of completing.
            
If the management station wishes to repeat the ping
sequence to a particular destination, then it will
need to set the corresponding instance of 
fcPingAdminStatus to 'enable' again.
