Performance Probe Server

TCP Probe Server	Specifies the port on which the Services Router is to
	receive and transmit TCP probes.

Type the number 7—a standard TCP or UDP port number—or a port number from 49152 through 65535.

UDP Probe Server	Specifies the port on which the Services Router is to
	receive and transmit UDP probes.

Type the number 7—a standard TCP or UDP port number—or a port number from 49152 through 65535.

Configuring RPM with a Configuration Editor

To configure the Services Router to perform real-time performance tests, you perform the following tasks. For information about using the J-Web and CLI configuration editors, see the J-series Services Router Basic LAN and WAN Access Configuration Guide.

Configuring Basic RPM Probes

To configure basic RPM probes, you must configure the probe owner, the test, and the specific parameters of the RPM probe.

For ICMP ping, ICMP ping timestamp, UDP ping, and UDP ping timestamp probes, you can also set a timestamp to improve the measurement of latency or jitter. The probe is timestamped by the router originating the probe (the RPM client).

In this sample use of RPM, basic probes are configured for two customers: Customer A and Customer B. The probe for Customer A uses ICMP timestamp packets and sets RPM thresholds and corresponding SNMP traps to catch lengthy inbound times. The
