Configuring IP Monitoring in a Virtual Router

Real-time performance monitoring (RPM) probes can be sent from a virtual router. You can specify a route to be added in a virtual router from the IP monitoring configuration. You can also specify a backup interface to be enabled in a virtual router.

The following is a sample configuration for IP monitoring with route failover in a virtual router:

Note:

When you define the RPM probe in a virtual router, you should not enter a value for the next-hop router at the [edit set services rpm probe probe-owner test test-name] hierarchy level. This is because the RPM daemon always looks in the inet.0 route table for the next-hop address, even if you have specified a virtual router in the routing instance configuration. Because you cannot specify the next-hop router in the RPM configuration stanza, you need to add a /32 route with a preference of 1 to the tracked IP address so that the system always uses the route through the primary link for the RPM probe.
