Using service RPM ping probe to detect link congestion

Last modified by Yu Pang Law on 2022/12/14 08:41

In Junos, we can use RPM (real-time performance monitoring) to monitor link quality.

  1. give a name to the ping probe and test name
    edit services rpm probe ping-probe test test-ping
  2. set probe type
    set probe-type icmp-ping
  3. set probe count for each test and interval between each ping (in second)
    set probe-count 10
    set probe-interval 1
  4. set source and target address (must be the interconnect IPs if you want to detect link quality)
    set target address 192.168.1.1
    set source address 192.168.1.2
  5. set the thresold for sucessful probe
    set thresolds total-loss 2
    set std-dev-rtt 50000

    where std-dev value is in micro second, not millisecond (1000 micro = 1 milli)

Optionional:

  1. log the result in a remote monitoring (Syslog) server for generating alerts.
    top
    set system syslog host 172.168.0.1 daemon any
    set system syslog host 172.168.0.1 match rmopd

    where rmopd is the daemon name for ping probe
