5. Optionally, use the next-hop command to specify the next-hop for the RTR probe, and
bypass normal routing. The next-hop command is disabled by default.
Use the next-hop command when the G250/G350 is connected to a remote device via
more than one interface, and you wish to monitor the state of one specific interface. When
you specify the next-hop as the interface you wish to monitor, you ensure that the RTR will
probe that interface.
When the RTR is used to monitor a static route, a PBR next hop, or the DHCP client
default route, you must specify the same next-hop for the RTR. This ensures it will be sent
over the next hop it should monitor.
If the interface is an Ethernet interface (FastEthernet not running PPPoE) or VLAN
interface, specify also the interface's MAC address.
G350-001(config-rtr icmp 5)# next-hop interface FastEthernet 10/2
mac-address 00:01:02:03:04:05
Done!
6. Optionally, use the source-address command to specify a source IP address, instead
of using the output interface's address. By default, the source-address command is
disabled, and RTR probes use the output interface's address.
Use the source-address command when you are probing a device located on the
Internet, and specify as the source-address the G250/G350 public IP address.
G350-001(config-rtr icmp 5)# source-address 135.64.102.5
Done!
7. Optionally, configure the RTR parameters that determine when the state of the remote
device is considered up and when down. If you do not configure these characteristics, their
default values are used:
Use the wait-interval command to specify how long to wait for a response from
●
the device. When the wait-interval is exceeded, the probe is considered an
unanswered probe. The default value is the current value of frequency.
Use the fail-retries command to specify how many consecutive unanswered
●
probes change the state of an RTR from up to down. The default value is 5.
Note:
When an RTR starts running, its state is considered up.
Note:
Use the success-retries command to specify how many consecutive answered
●
probes change the state of an RTR from down to up. The default value is 5.
G350-001(config-rtr icmp 5)# wait-interval 2 seconds
Done!
G350-001(config-rtr icmp 5)# fail-retries 3
Done!
G350-001(config-rtr icmp 5)# success-retries 1
Done!
