Probe understanding???

[fsebera]

Could someone explain how to interput this command? Seems to me that the interval means to wait 5 seconds between pings, retry 3 times and wait 10 seconds before reporting a failure.

5 x 3 = 15 (not 10)

. . . and then the receive 10 ????? No Idea.

SLB#show mod csm 4 probe

probe                           type port    interval  retries  failed   open   receive

----------------------------------------------------------------

OUT-SRV-ALIAS        icmp            5          3          10                    10

FWOS-[R]-CLIENT      icmp         5          3           10                    10

Here is the config that relates to the above show command

probe OUT-SRV-ALIAS icmp

address 192.168.252.65

interval 5

failed 10

!

probe FWOS-[R]-CLIENT icmp

address 192.168.252.51

interval 5

failed 10

Thanks again for your help

Hi Frank,

This is what it means:

Interval between the probes is 5 seconds for healthy servers, while it is 10 seconds for failed servers.

The servers need to reply within 10 seconds (default "receive", which is configurable as well).
