Configuring the Probe Type

To begin configuring RTR, enter RTR Configuration mode and configure the probe type—either an echo probe or a path echo probe.

rtr

• Use to configure an RTR probe and to enter RTR Configuration mode.
• Example

  host1(config)#rtr 1

• Use the no version to delete all configuration information for an RTR probe.
• See rtr

type

• Use to set an echo or path echo probe:
  • echo—Limited to end-to-end RTR operations; corresponds to SNMP ping
  • pathEcho—Finds a path to the destination and echoes each device in the path; corresponds to SNMP traceroute
• You must specify this value before any other.
• If you change the type for an existing RTR entry, all values are reset, including the administrative status. There is no default value.
• More than one RTR entry can become active, provided each entry’s target address is unique.
• If you configure multiple RTR entries to use the same target address, you must issue the receive-interface command to specify the interface on which the RTR probe expects to receive responses. (For information, see Setting the Receiving Interface.)
• If you use a target address already configured for another RTR entry that is active, the test will not run if both entries are in the same virtual router. If they are in distinct virtual routers, however, there is no restriction.
• Example

  host1(config-rtr)#type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 10.10.0.9

• Use the no version to remove the type configured for the probe.
