What field in the header? There isn't a field that registers time. The ping application measures the time between sending the ping and receiving a reply. It would indeed be strange for a ping application to wait around for 15 seconds for a reply. But maybe you can configure Tivoli to do this. Cisco lets you use 3600 seconds for a timeout value! (an hour) Albany#ping Protocol [ip]: Target IP address: 10.10.10.10 Repeat count [5]: Datagram size [100]: Timeout in seconds [2]: 99999999 % A decimal number between 0 and 3600. Timeout in seconds [2]: 3600 Extended commands [n]: Sweep range of sizes [n]: Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.10.10, timeout is 3600 seconds: If I'm misunderstanding the question, which is likely, let me know. ;-) Priscilla ________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer http://www.priscilla.com Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=41204&t=41144 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
