Remote ping groups

As described in the
, a user can use the Polling and Thresholds Console to configure the following types of periodic remote ping groups:
  • CE device to CE device
  • PE device to local or remote CE
  • PE to Unmanaged CE
  • PE device to PE device
  • PE to VRF
    The CE in any of the CE-involved ping groups may be a traditional CE device or a multi-VRF CE device. In addition, the VRF in the PE to VRF ping group may be a VRF that is hosted by a multi-VRF CE device.
    End-to-end availability testing for the periodic remote ping groups describes the device-pair end-to-end paths that are tested by the periodic remote ping groups.
    “Remote ping examples” on page 91
    illustrates the end-to-end paths.
