Configuring TCP and UDP Probes (Optional)

To configure RPM using TCP and UDP probes, in addition to the basic RPM properties, you must configure both the host Services Router and the remote Services Router to act as TCP and UDP servers.

In this sample use of RPM, a probe is configured for one customer: Customer C. The probe for Customer C uses TCP packets. The remote router is configured as an RPM server for both TCP and UDP packets, using ports 50000 and 50037, respectively. Router A is the host router in this example, and router B is the remote router. To configure this RPM probe:

  1. Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
  2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 87.
  3. If you are finished configuring the network, commit the configuration.
  4. Go on to one of the following procedures:

Table 87: Configuring TCP and UDP Probes

Task

J-Web Configuration Editor

CLI Configuration Editor
Router A Configuration  

Navigate to the Services>RPM level in the configuration hierarchy.
  1. In the configuration editor hierarchy, select Services.
  2. Select the Yes check box.
  3. Click Configure.

From the top of the configuration hierarchy, enter

edit services rpm

Configure the RPM owner customerC.
  1. In the Probe box, click Add new entry.
  2. In the Owner box, type customerC.
  3. Click OK.

Enter

set probe customerC

Configure the RPM test tcp-test for the RPM owner customerC.

The sample RPM test is a TCP probe with a test interval (probe frequency) of 5, a probe type of tcp-ping, and a target address of 192.162.45.6.
  1. In the configuration editor hierarchy, select customerC.
  2. In the Test box, click Add new entry.
  3. In the Name box, type tcp-test.
  4. In the Probe frequency box, type 5.
  5. In the Probe type box, select tcp-ping.
  6. In the Target box, select the Yes check box, and click Configure.
  7. In the Target type box, select Address.
  8. In the Address box, type 192.162.45.6.
  9. Click OK.
  1. From the top of the configuration hierarchy, enter

    edit services rpm probe customerC

  2. Enter

    set test tcp-test probe-frequency 5

  3. Enter

    set test tcp-test probe-type tcp-ping

  4. Enter

    set test tcp-test target address 192.162.45.6

Configure port 50000 as the TCP port to which the RPM probes are sent.

In the Destination port box, type 50000.

Enter

set test tcp-test destination-port 50000

Router B Configuration  

Navigate to the Services>RPM level in the configuration hierarchy.
  1. In the configuration editor hierarchy, select Services.
  2. Select the Yes check box.
  3. Click Configure.

From the top of the configuration hierarchy, enter

edit services rpm

Configure Router B to act as a TCP server, using port 50000 to send and receive TCP probes.
  1. In the configuration editor hierarchy, select Probe Server.
  2. In the Tcp box, click Configure.
  3. In the Port box, type 50000.
  4. Click OK.

Enter

set probe-server tcp port 50000

Configure Router B to act as a UDP server, using port 50037 to send and receive UDP probes.
  1. In the configuration editor hierarchy, select Probe Server.
  2. In the Udp box, click Configure.
  3. In the Port box, type 50037.
  4. Click OK.

Enter

set probe-server udp port 50037
