Object

column r/w Enumeration
The type of connection used when contacting the remote service.
              
icmp(1) - Issues an ICMP echo request and expects an echo reply
          from the remote service.  Probes of this type determine
          the state of the remote service.
              
udp(2)  - Sends a UDP request using either the
          etsysTrackedObjectsProbeAcvRequest string or a generic
          '\r\n'.  If its an ACV request, the system expects
          an ACV reply.  If its a generic request, no reply is
          expected.  Probes of this type determine the state of
          the remote service.
              
tcp(3)  - Sets up a 3-way handshake with the remote service.
          If etsysTrackedObjectsProbeAcvRequest is configured,
          that string is sent over the connected socket, and
          an ACV reply is expected.  If that object is not
          configured, then the connection is closed.  Probes of
          this type determine the state of the remote service.
              
icmpTs(4) - Issues an ICMP echo request and expects an echo
          reply.  The echo request contains a timestamp of the
          transmit time.  The echo reply includes the timestamp
          of the received echo request and the transmit
          timestamp of the echo reply.  Upon receiving the echo
          reply, the application adds a final timestamp for the
          receive time.
              
          Hosts:
            L - Local Host, D - Destination Host
          Timestamps:
            ETxTs - Echo Request Transmit Timestamp
            ERxTs - Echo Request Receive Timestamp
            RTxTs - Echo Reply Transmit Timestamp
            RRxTs - Echo Reply Receive Timestamp
              
          L ----- Echo Request (ETxTs) --------------> D
          L <---- Echo Reply (ETxTs, ERxTs, RTxTs)---- D
          L (Adds RRxTs)
              
          Notes:
          In order for the echo reply to contain the extra
          timestamps, the destinaton host MUST be an Enterasys
          device that supports the 'icmpTs' type.
              
          However, it is not a requirement that the destination
          host be an Enterasys device, nor does an Enterasys
          device have to support the 'icmpTs' type for the probe
          to operate correctly.  In this situation, the client
          applications will have to handle the ERxTs and RTxTs
          values being zero.
              
          Probes of this type collect timestamp information for
          the client applications.  These probes DO NOT determine
          the state of the remote service.  Additional objects
          are found in the etsysTrackedObjectsProbeTsTable.
              
The value of this object MAY NOT be modified after creating the
row.
