set probe-interval 15
In the Probe interval box, type 15.
Set the time between probe
transmissions to 15 seconds.
Enter
set probe-count 10
In the Probe count box, type 10.
Set the number of probes within a test
to 10.

In the Source address box, type
192.168.2.9.

Click OK.
Set the source address for each probe
packet to 192.168.2.9.
If you do not explicitly configure a
source address, the address on the
outgoing interface through which the
probe is sent is used as the source
address.
Configuring RPM Probes to Monitor BGP Neighbors
By default, the Services Router is not configured to send RPM probes to its BGP
neighbors. You must configure the BGP parameters under RPM configuration to send
RPM probes to BGP neighbors.
You can also direct the probes to a particular group of BGP neighbors.
This section contains the following topics:
■ Configuring RPM Probes for BGP Monitoring on page 283
■ Directing RPM Probes to Select BGP Routers on page 285
Configuring RPM Probes for BGP Monitoring
This sample use of RPM for BGP monitoring uses a TCP probe. To use TCP or UDP
probes, you must configure both the probe server (Services Router) and the probe
receiver (the remote Services Router) to transmit and receive RPM probes on the
same TCP or UDP port. The sample probe uses TCP port 50000.
To configure RPM probes on a Services Router to monitor BGP neighbors with a
configuration editor:
1. Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI
configuration editor.
2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 144 on page 284.
3. If you are finished configuring the router, commit the configuration.
4. Go on to one of the following tasks:
■ To send probes to specific routers, see “Directing RPM Probes to Select BGP
Routers” on page 285.
