Junos OS Hierarchy Levels

Junos OS Evolved Hierarchy Level

Description

(Required) Specify the destination IPv4 or IPv6 address (RPM and TWAMP) or URL (RPM) used for the probes. For RPM, Junos OS Evolved only supports IPv4 addresses.

Options

address	—For all RPM probe types other than the HTTP probes, and for TWAMP managed control connections and test sessions, use the specified IPv4 or IPv6 address for the target host. Only IPv4 addresses are supported for Junos OS Evolved RPM probes. IPv4 addresses are supported for each Junos OS Evolved TWAMP Light test session (where the control-type light statement is configured for the control connection), and are configured per test session, rather than on the control connection as a whole. MX Series and PTX Series Junos OS TWAMP Light test sessions support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Note: Starting with Junos OS Release 14.2R2, the RPM client router (the router or switch that originates the RPM probes) can send probe packets to the RPM probe server (the device that receives the RPM probes) that contains an IPv6 address.
local-link IPv6-link-local-interface-name	—(Junos OS only) For TWAMP Light test sessions with IPv6 target addresses (where the control-type light statement is configured for the control connection), configure the link-local logical interface name for the egress interface._
url url	—(Junos OS only) For HTTP probe types, use the specified fully formed URL that includes http:// in the URL address. You can also specify an IPv6 address of a host in the URL to denote the destination or server to which the RPM probes must be sent. Note: The url option is for RPM only.
