probe
Use the probe command to create a probe as part of network monitoring. This command is also used to
enter into the Network Monitoring Probe command set once a probe is created. A probe can be one of
three types: http-request, icmp-echo, or tcp-connect. Each probe type has a set of commands used
for configuration. These additional commands are covered in Network Monitor Probe Command Set on
page 1330. Use the no form of this command to delete the probe. Variations of this command include:
probe <name> http-request
probe <name> icmp-echo
probe <name> tcp-connect
Note
Issue the no shutdown command to activate the probe once it is configured.
Note
The probe is not operational until tolerance is defined. Refer to Network Monitor Probe
Command Set on page 1330 for more information.
Syntax Description
<name>
http-request
icmp-echo
tcp-connect
Default Values
By default, there are no probes configured.
Usage Examples
The following example creates an ICMP echo probe called probe1:
ProCurve>enable
ProCurve#configure terminal
ProCurve(config)#interface probe probe1 icmp-echo
ProCurve(config-probe-probe1)#
Technology Review
Probes are stand alone objects which help determine the status of a route based on the success or failure
of probe traffic across the path. The probes can be configured to trigger at particular intervals. There are
three types of probes supported by SROS: icmp-echo, tcp-connect, and http-request. Commands common
to all the probe types are identified in the following section as well as isolated commands that only apply to
the specific probe types.
Additional configuration commands are available for associating tracks with each probe. These are
