We have 86 hosts at the present time on our wireless network. We are executing the check_ping command to see if the AUs and SUs are alive. This seems to work well except with one of our access units. This particular AU comes up as critical a lot, especially during the evening hours. We have run just a ping command from the command line at the same time and it did not loose any packets as nagios reported that it did. When I executed the check_ping command constantly from the command line it did loose some. I know the problem has to be with the was the check is being run, but it confuses me that this is the only host with the problem. Ive read the command and I can understand what it is doing but I still don't see why this packet loss is occurring. Regular ping times to this host and t imes with the check_ping command are almost always under 12ms with the tty of 64. It sometimes gets a little higher but only for 1 or maybe 2 pings at most then back down but nowhere near 6 times, which is what we set the max attempts to. Can anyone shed some light on this for me...maybe I am misunderstanding how the check_ping command works? I realize one option is to change the check to something else for that host but Id rather not. I would also like to know if this is just telling me something is wrong from our POP to that host or back?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
