Timing probe parameters are configured in probe configuration mode using the following commands:
Command | Parameter Description | Default Value |
---|---|---|
description | A probe description of up to 127 printable characters can be configured. If a space character is entered, the description must be enclosed by double quotes (“”). Probe descriptions are displayed by the show probe probe-name detail command. | None |
dns-query type | This command allows you to specify a domain name, host name, or IPv6 address as the DNS query type to be sent with the probe. | None |
l5-type | This command allows you to specify that the ACV or DNS Layer 5 protocol will be used with the probe. | None |
interval | This command sets the transmit rate of ICMP echo requests. The transmit rate interval must be larger than the length of time specified to wait for an ICMP echo reply (the receive wait time). The system will not allow you to set a transmit interval less than or equal to the receive wait time, so if necessary, change the receive parameter first, before changing the interval value. |
2000 milliseconds |
packet-options | This command allows you to set the IP type of service or VLAN priority code point value to be included in the ICMP echo requests sent. | Both ToS and PCP are set to 0 |
receive | This command sets the length of time to wait for an ICMP echo reply. This receive wait time must be smaller than the transmit rate interval. The system will not allow you to set a receive wait time that is greater than or equal to the transmit rate interval, so if necessary, change the interval parameter before changing the receive wait time. |
1000 milliseconds |
inservice | This command places the probe in service. A scheduled IP SLA entry requires the assigned timing probe to be in service; otherwise, the IP SLA tests do not return data. | out of service |
