Configuring RPM Timestamping

To account for latency in the communication of probe messages, you can enable timestamping of the probe packets. You can timestamp the following RPM probe types: icmp-ping, icmp-ping-timestamp, udp-ping, and udp-ping-timestamp.

This example shows how to enable timestamping for customerA. The test for customerA is identified as customerA-test.

To configure timestamping:

  1. Specify the RPM probe owner for which you want to enable timestamping.
    [edit services rpm]user@host# edit probe customerA
  2. Specify a name for the test.
    [edit services rpm probe customerA]user@host# edit test customerA-test
  3. Enable timestamping.
    [edit services rpm probe customerA test customerA-test]user@host# edit hardware-timestamp
  4. (Optional) If preferred, indicate that you want timestamping to be only one-way.
    [edit services rpm probe customerA test customerA-test]user@host# edit one-way-hardware-timestamp

Note: You cannot include both the source-address and hardware-timestamp or one-way-hardware-timestamp statements at the [edit services rpm probe probe-name test test-name] hierarchy level simultaneously.
