A successful hop, but time required was quite long.
A successful hop, but the time required was too long.
The hop failed / timed out. (i.e. it took longer then 1000ms).

12.6 SNMP audit
The SNMP audit tool, allows you to perform an SNMP audit on a device and audit for weak
community strings.
Some network devices will have alternative or non-default community strings. The dictionary file
contains a list of popular community strings to check for. The default file it uses for the
dictionary attack is called snmp-pass.txt. You can either add new community names to this file,
or direct the SNMP audit to use another file altogether.
