Tuning RPM Probes (Optional)

After configuring an RPM probe, you can set parameters to control probe functions, such as the interval between probes, the total number of concurrent probes that a system can handle, and the source address used for each probe packet. This example tunes the ICMP probe set for customer A in Configuring Basic RPM Probes (Required).

To configure tune RPM probes:

  1. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 86.
  2. Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
  3. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 88.
  4. If you are finished configuring the network, commit the configuration.
  5. To check the configuration, see Verifying an RPM Configuration.

  1. In the configuration editor hierarchy, select Services.
  2. Select the Yes check box.
  3. Click Edit.

From the top of the configuration hierarchy, enter

Set the maximum number of concurrent probes allowed on the system to 10.

In the Probe limit box, type 10.

Enter

set probe-limit 10

Navigate to the Services>RPM>Probe>CustomerA> Test>Icmp-test level in the configuration hierarchy.
  1. In the configuration editor hierarchy, select Services.
  2. Select the Yes check box.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. In the Probe box, click icmp-test.

From the top of the configuration hierarchy, enter

edit services rpm probe customerA test icmp-test

Set the time between probe transmissions to 30 seconds.

In the Probe interval box, type 15.

Enter

set probe-interval 15

Set the number of probes within a test to 10.

In the Probe count box, type 10.

Enter

set probe-count 10

Set the source address for each probe packet to 192.168.2.9.

If you do not explicitly configure a source address, the address on the outgoing interface through which the probe is sent is used as the source address.

In the Source address box, type 192.168.2.9.

Enter

set source-address 192.168.2.9
