tunnel probe

Use this command to configure a tunnel probe to monitor the tunnel destination address.

Syntax

tunnel probe probe-name {default | probe-name}
no tunnel probe

Parameters

probe-name default | probe-name Specifies the default probe (named $tunnel_default) or a named probe will be used to monitor the specified IP address.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Tunnel Interface Configuration command mode.

Usage

A tunnel probe is used to monitor a tunnel endpoint IP address. If a probe fails, the associated tunnel is taken down. A default ICMP tunnel probe exists named $tunnel_default or a probe can be configured using the tracked object manager probe facility. See Tracked Object Manager Commands for command details for creating and configuring a probe. See Tracked Object Manager Configuration in the S-, K-, and 7100 Series Configuration Guide for default tunnel probe and tunnel probe configuration details.

Use the “no” option for this command to remove the tunnel probe configuration for the tunnel.

Example

This example shows how to monitor the tunnel destination address for tunnel 1 using the default tunnel probe (you could also specify the default tunnel probe name: $tunnel_default instead of the default keyword):

System(rw)->configure
System(rw-config)->interface tunnel 1
System(rw-config-intf-tun.0.1)->tunnel probe probe-name default
System(rw-config-intf-tun.0.1)->
