Setup RPM

Problem

Description

You are here: Device Administration > RPM > Setup RPM.

You can configure RPM parameters to monitor real-time performance through the J-Web interface. You can specify an RPM owner, request information related to probe, hardware timestamp, generates Traps, and specify a probe server.

Solution

To configure RPM parameters:

Enter the information specified in Table 1 to troubleshoot the issue.
From the main RPM configuration page, click one:
- Apply—Applies the configuration and stays on the RPM configuration page.
- OK—Applies the configuration and returns to the RPM configuration page.
- Cancel—Cancels your entries and returns to the RPM configuration page.

Field	Function
Probe Owners
Identification
Owner Name	Specifies an RPM owner for which one or more RPM tests are configured. In most implementations, the owner name identifies a network on which a set of tests is being run (a particular customer, for example). Type the name of the RPM owner.
Performance Probe Tests
Identification
Test name	Specifies a unique name to identify the RPM test. Type the name of the RPM test.
Target (Address or URL)	Specifies an IP address or a URL of a probe target. Type the IP address, in dotted decimal notation, or the URL of the probe target. If the target is a URL, type a fully formed URL that includes http://.
Source Address	Specifies an IP address to be used as the probe source address. Type the source address to be used for the probe. If the source IP address is not one of the device's assigned addresses, the packet uses the outgoing interface's address as its source.

Data Fill	Specifies the contents of the data portion of the ICMP probes. Type a hexadecimal value between 1 and 800h to use as the contents of the ICMP probe data.
Hardware Timestamp
One Way Hardware Timestamp	Specifies the hardware timestamps for one-way measurements. To enable one-way timestamping, select the check box.
Hardware Timestamp	Specifies timestamping of RPM probe messages. You can timestamp the following RPM probes to improve the measurement of latency or jitter: ICMP ping ICMP ping timestamp UDP ping—destination port UDP-ECHO (port 7) only UDP ping timestamp—destination port UDP-ECHO (port 7) only To enable timestamping, select the check box.
Destination Interface	Specifies the name of an output interface for probes. Select the interface from the list.
Maximum Probe Thresholds
Successive Lost Probes	Specifies the total number of probes that must be lost successively to trigger a probe failure and generate a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 15.
Lost Probes	Specifies the total number of probes that must be lost to trigger a probe failure and generate a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 15.
Round Trip Time	Specifies the total round-trip time (in microseconds), from the device to the remote server, that triggers a probe failure and generates a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 60,000,000 (microseconds).
Jitter	Specifies the total jitter (in microseconds) for a test that triggers a probe failure and generates a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 60,000,000 (microseconds).
Standard Deviation	Specifies the maximum allowable standard deviation (in microseconds) for a test, which, if exceeded, triggers a probe failure and generates a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 60,000,000 (microseconds).
Egress Time	Specifies the total one-way time (in microseconds), from the device to the remote server, that triggers a probe failure and generates a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 60,000,000 (microseconds).
Ingress Time	Specifies the total one-way time (in microseconds), from the remote server to the device, that triggers a probe failure and generates a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 60,000,000 (microseconds)
Jitter Egress Time	Specifies the total outbound-time jitter (in microseconds) for a test that triggers a probe failure and generates a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 60,000,000 (microseconds)
Jitter Ingress Time	Specifies the total inbound-time jitter (in microseconds) for a test that triggers a probe failure and generates a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 60,000,000 (microseconds).
Egress Standard Deviation	Specifies the maximum allowable standard deviation of outbound times (in microseconds) for a test, which, if exceeded, triggers a probe failure and generates a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 60,000,000 (microseconds).
Ingress Standard Deviation	Specifies the maximum allowable standard deviation of inbound times (in microseconds) for a test, which, if exceeded, triggers a probe failure and generates a system log message. Type a number between 0 and 60,000,000 (microseconds).
