Configuring Service Probes

Creating a Service Probe

Specify an instance ID between 1 and 9999, and associate the probe with a VLAN by name or ID. If you do not specify IP parameters, the probe uses DHCP.

Syntax:

create service-probe <instance_id> [{vlan} <vlan_name> | vlan <vlan_id>]
  {ipaddress [<ipaddress> <netmask> | <ipNetmask>] <gateway>}

Create a dynamic (DHCP) probe:

create service-probe 1 vlan corp

Create a static IP probe:

create service-probe 5 vlan corp ipaddress 192.168.100.90/24 192.168.100.1

Configuring DNS Name Servers

For static IP probes, add name servers manually. You can also use this command to add or replace servers on dynamic probes. A maximum of three servers can be configured per probe.

Add name servers:

configure service-probe <instance_id> add name-server <ip1> {<ip2> {<ip3>}}

Remove specific name servers:

configure service-probe <instance_id> delete name-server <ip1> {<ip2> {<ip3>}}

Remove all name servers:

configure service-probe <instance_id> delete name-server all-name-servers

Use all in place of <instance_id> to apply the change to every Service Probe.

Renewing or Releasing a DHCP Address

Renew:

run service-probe <instance_id> renew

Release:

run service-probe <instance_id> release

Use all to act on all dynamic probes at once. These commands return an error if the target probe has a static IP address.

Deleting a Service Probe

delete service-probe <instance_id>
delete service-probe all
