Configuring Network Monitoring

Follow these steps:
1.
Configure one ICMP echo probe for each branch office LAN. Because you
are testing connectivity, set the tolerance to consecutive failures, and set
the timeout and tolerance high enough to ensure that congestion is not
interpreted as a failed connection. Probes will report lost contact with a
branch office after two minutes and eighteen seconds
ProCurve(config)# probe Branch2 icmp-echo
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch2)# destination 10.2.1.1
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch2)# timeout 3000
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch2)# period 20
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch2)# tolerance consecutive-failures 6
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch2)# no shutdown
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch2)# probe Branch3 icmp-echo
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch3)# destination 10.3.1.1
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch3)# timeout 3000
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch2)# period 20
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch3)# tolerance consecutive-failures 6
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch3)# no shutdown
ProCurve(config-probe-Branch3)# exit
2.
Configure a track to monitor the route to each branch office LAN.
ProCurve(config)# track Branch2
ProCurve(config-track-Branch2)# test probe Branch2
ProCurve(config-track-Branch2)# log-changes
ProCurve(config-track-Branch2)# track Branch3
ProCurve(config-track-Branch3)# test probe Branch3
ProCurve(config-track-Branch3)# log-changes
ProCurve(config-track-Branch3)# exit
3.
Create a static route to each branch office and associate it with the correct
track.
ProCurve(config)# ip route 10.2.0.0 /16 ppp 1 track Branch2
ProCurve(config)# ip route 10.3.0.0 /16 ppp 1 track Branch3
