ICMP Statistics Attributes

Use ICMP Statistics attributes to monitor message traffic. ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) messages are used to convey the results of network commands, such as the PING command. ICMP Statistics is a single-instance attribute group.


Messages/sec The total rate that ICMP messages that are received and sent by the entity. The rate includes those messages received or sent in error. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 2,550 for the rate that messages per second are received and are sent, enter 2550.

Messages Outbound Errors The number of ICMP messages that this entity did not send due to problems discovered within ICMP, such as lack of buffers. This value should not include errors discovered outside the ICMP layer, such as the inability of IP to rout the resultant datagram. In some implementations, there may be no types of error that contribute to the value of the counter. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 348 for the number of ICMP messages that did not get sent due to problems, enter 348.

Messages Received Errors The number of ICMP messages that the entity received but determined as having errors (bad ICMP checksums, bad length, and so on). Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 67 for the number of ICMP messages that received errors, enter 67.

Messages Received/sec The rate that ICMP messages are received by the entity. The rate includes those messages received in error. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 1,348 for the rate that messages per second are received, enter 1348.

Messages Sent/sec The rate that ICMP messages are attempted to be sent by the entity. The rate includes those messages sent in error. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 2,254 for the rate that messages per second are sent, enter 2254.
