# Delay before performing next ping. If there are alot of ping destinations

# it could drive up the CPU on low end routers. Putting in a delay between

# pings should lower the CPU. This value is in milli seconds!!!

# The numbers below were for a Cisco 1750 router running 12.2 code

# 250ms delay throttles CPU usage to 20 - 25%

# 500ms delay throttles CPU usage to 10 - 12%

# Example: 1000ms = 1 second

# Data Structure List describing the topology for the pinger utility.

# The first argument in each row is the address/name to telnet to.

# The 2nd (plus) argument for each row must be a valid IP interface address

# on that router. This address will be used for the source IP address when

# using extended pings.

# Additional source IP addresses can be added after the 2nd list element of each row

# Each new address must be enclosed in double quotes

# The keyword "default" can also be used as a source IP address. In this

# case the router will use the interface IP address that the ping exits the router.

# For example, the first router that pings will be peformed from is nj1. Pings will

# be sent from this router first using a source IP Address of 64.145.25.3. The

# addresses that are pinged are contained in the PING_LIST below. After all of the

# addresses in PING_LIST are pinged, Router nj1 will then ping those same IP

# Addresses but will now use a source IP address of 64.32.127.132. After those

# pings are finished nj1 will then use the router's default source IP address

# and ping all of the address in the PING_LIST

# OPTIONAL Skip List

####################

# Add combinations of router, src_address, dest_address for pings

# that you do not want to perform

# Here are some examples based on the data above

# This is useful if you know some combinations are supposed to fail and

# you don't want the summary.log file to report a false alarm

# First list element is the router name or IP address. This must

# match the router name or IP address that was specified in the first

# element of TOPO_LIST

# "*" is a wildcard match and will match any router. This only makes sense

# to use when also setting the source address to a "*"

# Second element is one of the source IP addresses specified in TOPO_LIST

# "*" is a wildcard match and will match all sources for a given router

# Third element is one of the destination addresses specified in PING_LIST

# "*" is a wildcard match and will match all destinations for a given router

# By default, the SKIP_LIST is commented out. If you want to skip

# some ping combinations, then uncomment the lines below and modify the

# router name and IP addresses to fit your environment

# Since there is a * in the source field for the third example, this in essence

# is blocking all pings from the cnj7 router to 172.33.1.2

# The last example says block all pings to 10.31.239.1 from any router.

# This is basically the same as commenting out a single line in the PING_LIST variable

# None of the commands below can have the requirement of

# entering a confirm, yes , or no after the command

# In addition to listing commands that do not require a

# confirmation after entering the command, the following two

# special commands can be entered in this list

# 1. SLEEP <seconds> - This command will introduce a delay before entering

# the next command in the list. MUST BE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS

# 2. TRACEROUTE - This command will perform a traceroute to the

# address that will be used in the ping.

# Do not specify an ip address next to this command

# MUST BE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS

# Inserting the KEY words SRC or DST will substitute the

# source/destination of the ping that will be issued for the actual ping

# The key word TRACEROUTE will perform a traceroute to the destination

# Leave these commands commented out if you do not wanted to issue

# any commands following a before the ping is performed.
