Creates a Service Probe that emulates a client device on the specified VLAN.
| vlan | Associates the Service Probe with a VLAN, specified by name or ID. |
| vlan_name | Name of the VLAN to associate with the Service Probe. |
| vlan_id | ID of the VLAN to associate with the Service Probe. Valid range is 1–4094. |
| ipaddress | Configures a static IP address on the Service Probe. If omitted, the probe uses DHCP. |
| ipaddress | Static IPv4 address to assign to the Service Probe. |
| netmask | Subnet mask for the static IP address. |
| ipNetmask | Static IPv4 address and subnet mask in CIDR notation (for example, 192.168.1.10/24). |
| gateway | Default gateway IPv4 address for the Service Probe. |
If no IP address parameters are specified, the probe obtains its IP configuration dynamically using DHCP. A synchronous DHCP request is attempted immediately upon creation. If no offer is received, the probe is still created and the DHCP client continues retrying in the background.
Each Service Probe is assigned a unique MAC address and operates in its own Linux network namespace, isolated from the switch's networking domain. Multiple probes can be associated with the same VLAN.
Service Probes cannot be associated with the Management VLAN. Service Probes are not saved to the switch configuration and do not persist across reboots.
The following command creates a dynamic (DHCP) Service Probe on the VLAN named corp:
create service-probe 1 vlan corp
The following command creates a static Service Probe on the same VLAN:
create service-probe 5 vlan corp ipaddress 192.168.100.90/24 192.168.100.1
This command was first available in version 33.5.1.
All platforms.
