For on-demand remote pings, the MPLS Topology Server sends remote ping requests to supported devices to write remote ping entries to their Ping MIBs, and to read remote ping test results from their Ping MIBs.
For periodic remote pings, the MPLS Monitoring Server sends remote ping requests to supported devices to write remote ping entries to their Ping MIBs, and to read remote ping test results from their Ping MIBs. Periodic remote pings (objects) are created on the MPLS Topology Server, transferred to the MPLS Monitoring Server, and started on the MPLS Monitoring Server.
MIBs access for remote ping identifies the device and MIB support for remote ping.
