• Define the parameter "address" to specify the IP address used in the PING test using
ICMP protocol.
• Define the parameter "size" to indicate the size of the ICMP packet during the PING test
using ICMP protocol. A default value of 32 bytes meets most requirements.
• Define the parameter "timeout" to indicate the number of milliseconds to wait for a
response. The default value is 1000. This means you can expect feedback on the PING
command within 1 second. For some environments, 1000 is too small a number, and
depending on your network topology and system resources, a larger value can be
appropriate.

expected to respond. Do not define an excessively long timeout. The larger the number of the
