Description
This command configures IP probes for the policy-based routing using a next-hop list.
Syntax
Parameter Description
burst-size <size> Number of probes to be sent during the probe frequency interval defined by the
frequency parameter of this profile.
Range: 1-16, Default 5
frequency
<frequency>
Probe interval, in seconds. The WAN health-check feature sends the number of
probes defined by the burst-size parameter during each frequency interval defined
by this frequency parameter.
Range: 10-65535, Default 10
mode ping|udp Enable this feature by issuing the mode command and choosing the type of probe
packets to be sent, ping or udp.
no Remove or negate any configured parameter
retries <count> Number of times the controller attempts to resend a probe.
Range: 1-255, Default 5
Usage Guidelines
Policy-based routing is an optional feature that allows packets to be routed based on access control lists (ACLs)
configured by the administrator. In a typical deployment scenario with multiple uplinks, the default route only
uses one of the uplink next-hop devices for forwarding packets. If a next-hop device becomes unreachable, the
packets will not reach their destination. If your deployment uses policy-based routing based on a nexthop list,
any of the uplink next-hop devices can be used for forwarding traffic.
Examples
The following commands enable this feature, and reduce the default probe frequency interval and probe burst
size.
