CS_DetailedWMIPingChecker

The CS_DetailedWMIPingChecker spreadsheet allows a list of hosts to be pinged sequentially and the results compared from host to host. More detailed ping information is collected

The control buttons on the left hand side perform the following function:

Button

Functionality

Read

Pings the Hosts in Column D and outputs the results to column E. Each new time read is selected then the next available column to the right will be timestamped and the millisecond response time will be populated in that column.

Clear Results

Deletes the results from column E and higher

The computer specified in Cell B15 is the name of the computer where the ping is to take place. To select the local computer a full stop is specified (.). If a remote computer is required to perform the ping then specify its NetBIOS name, administrator access will be required to remote computers.

Populate a list of hosts in column D, the hosts can be listed by either FQDN, hostname or IP Address. (e.g. server1.sourcedom.com or server1 or 10.1.2.3).

Select the read button to start pinging and the current results will be populated in columns E and higher.

 

Value

Type

Description

E

Address

String

Value of the address requested. The form of the value can be either the computer name ("wxyz1234"), IPv4 address ("192.168.177.124"), or IPv6 address ("2010:836B:4179::836B:4179")

F

Buffer size

Uint32

Buffer size sent with the ping command. The default value is 32

G

No Fragmentation

Boolean

If TRUE, "Do not Fragment" is marked on the packets sent. The default is FALSE, not fragmented

H

PrimaryAddressResolutionStatus

Uint32

Status of the address resolution process. If successful, the value is 0 (zero). Any other value indicates an unsuccessful address resolution

I

ProtocolAddress

String

Address that the destination used to reply. The default is "".

J

ProtocolAddressResolved

String

Resolved address corresponding to the ProtocolAddress property. The default is "".

K

RecordRoute

Uint32

How many hops should be recorded while the packet is in route. The default is 0 (zero).

L

ReplyInconsistency

Boolean

Inconsistent reply data is reported.

M

ReplySize

Uint32

Represents the size of the buffer returned

N

ResolveAddressNames

Boolean

Command resolves address names of output address values. The default is FALSE, which indicates no resolution.

O

ResponseTime

Uint32

Time elapsed to handle the request.

P

ResponseTimeToLive

Uint32

Time to live from the moment the request is received

Q

RouteRecord

String

Record of intermediate hops

R

RouteRecordResolved

String

Resolved address that corresponds to the RouteRecord value

S

SourceRoute

String

Comma-separated list of valid Source Routes. The default is "".

T

SourceRouteType

Uint32

Type of source route option to be used on the host list specified in the SourceRoute property. If a value outside of the ValueMap is specified, then 0 (zero) is assumed. The default is 0 (zero).

0

None

Loose Source Routing

2

Strict Source Routing

U

Uint32

See next table

V

Timeout

Uint32

Time-out value in milliseconds. If a response is not received in this time, no response is assumed. The default is 1000 milliseconds.

W

TimeStampRecord

Uint32

Record of time stamps for intermediate hops

X

TimeStampRecordAddress

String

Intermediate hop that corresponds to the TimeStampRecord value

Y

TimeStampRecordAddressResolved

String

Resolved address that corresponds to the TimeStampRecordAddress value

Z

TimeStampRoute

Uint32

How many hops should be recorded with time stamp information while the packet is in route. A time stamp is the number of milliseconds that have passed since midnight Universal Time (UT). If the time is not available in milliseconds or cannot be provided with respect to midnight UT, then any time may be inserted as a time stamp, provided the high order bit of the Timestamp property is set to 1 (one) to indicate the use of a nonstandard value. The default is 0 (zero).

AA

TimeToLive

Uint32

Life span of the ping packet in seconds. The value is treated as an upper limit. All routers must decrement this value by 1 (one). When this value becomes 0 (zero), the packet is dropped by the router. The default value is 80 seconds. The hops between routers rarely take this amount of time

AB

TypeOfService

Uint32

Type of service that is used. The default value is 0 (zero).

0

Normal

2

4

Maximize Reliability

8

Maximize Throughput

16
