Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager

OSI Ping Responses
Site Manager displays one of the following messages when you issue an OSI ping.
(If you enter a value other than 0 for Retries, Site Manager displays a message for
the default ping plus one for each additional ping.)
• An “alive” message appears if the router receives a CLNP echo response from
the target device within the timeout period, for example:
OSI ping: 49000400000a12121200 is alive
• A target address “is unreachable” message appears if the local router cannot
find the specified address in its routing table, for example:
OSI ping: 49000400000a12121200 is unreachable
• A “does not respond” message appears if the NSAP address of the target
device is resolved, but the router does not receive a CLNP echo response from
the target device within the timeout period, for example:
OSI ping: 49000400000a12121200 does not respond
• An “NSAP address is too short” message appears if the NSAP address is too
short. The allowed NSAP address length is 20 hexadecimal characters (10
bytes), for example:
OSI ping: NSAP address is too short
• An “OSI service is not running” message appears if the OSI service is not
enabled on the router, for example:
OSI ping: OSI service is not running
• A “resource error” message appears if the router cannot allocate a buffer for
the request because no buffers are available, for example:
OSI ping: resource error
• A “system error” message appears if the Technician Interface fails, for
example:
OSI ping: system error
• A “<y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y> is a bad NSAP address” message
appears if the NSAP address is more than 20 characters.
y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y.y is the address of the CLNP host.
For example:
OSI ping: 123456Z is a bad NSAP address
