## NAME
       snmpping - command an agent to ping a remote host

## SYNOPSIS
       **snmpget **[_COMMON_ _OPTIONS_] _AGENT_ _DESTINATION_

## DESCRIPTION
       **snmping **is an SNMP application that uses the DISMAN-PING-MIB to perform remote pings from the
       specified _AGENT_ to the remote _DESTINATION_.

       The  local host will send SNMPSET commands to the _AGENT_ which, if accepted will then ping the
       _DESTINATION_.

       **snmpping **will then poll the _AGENT_ to obtain the ping results.


## OPTIONS
### -Cc_
              The _AGENT_ will send _pings_ pings to the _DESTINATION_.

### -Cs_
              The _AGENT_ will send pings that are _size_ bytes.

       In addition to these options, **snmpping **takes the common options described in  the  [_snmpcmd(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/snmpcmd/1/markdown)_
       manual page.  Note that **snmpping**


## EXAMPLES
       The command:

           snmpping -c private zeus hera

       will  get  host  **zeus **to ping host **hera**. Host **zeus **would need to have **private **as a read-write
       community.
