Re: [spectrum] Model class as Pingable



Chandru,

a Pingable in Spectrum is a model of a device that does not "speak" SNMP 
but 
only ICMP. This means, among other things, that no information is 
available 
apart from "device is alive" (i.e. responds to ping request" or "device is 
not 
alive" (i.e. does not respond to ping requests.

For management purposes this certainly is not sufficient, but for network 
fault analysis it is. So it helps Spectrums root cause analysis to 
identify 
the cause of a failure even if devices are modelled only as Pingables.

The reason why you see Pingable could have multiple causes:
- security restrictions (you are not allowd to speak "SNMP" with the 
device, 
your network does not route SNMP, etc)
- wrong SNMP community string specified
- wrong SNMP port specified
- no SNMP support on the device
etc.
