APPN Ping Responses

Site Manager displays one of the following messages when you issue an APPN

ping; Site Manager displays only one message, regardless of the number of retries

you specified.

• An “alive” message appears if the router receives a response from the target

device within the timeout period, for example:

APPN ping: bay is alive

• A “did not complete in the time allowed” message appears if the node is alive

but congested, the data transfer time exceeded the timeout period, or the

directory search is not complete, for example:

APPN ping: ping of bay did not complete in the time allowed

• An “unreachable” message appears if no route could be calculated to the

remote device, or if the remote device does not support APING, for example:

APPN ping: bay is unreachable

• An “invalid name” message appears if the speciﬁed node name or mode name

is invalid, for example:

APPN ping: invalid name specified

• An “APPN service is not running” message appears if the APPN service is not

enabled on the router, for example:

APPN ping: APPN service is not running
