ProcedureHow to Obtain IPMP Probe Target Information

Use this procedure to monitor the probe targets that are associated with each IP interface in an IPMP group.

  1. Display the IPMP probe targets.


    $ ipmpstat -nt
    INTERFACE   MODE          TESTADDR        TARGETS
    subitops0   routes        192.168.85.30   192.168.85.1 192.168.85.3
    subitops1   disabled      --              --
    hme0        disabled      --              --
    hme1        routes        192.1.2.200     192.1.2.1
    fops0       multicast     128.9.0.200     128.0.0.1 128.0.0.2
    fops1       multicast     128.9.0.201     128.0.0.2 128.0.0.1
    fops2       multicast     128.9.0.202     128.0.0.1 128.0.0.2
    fops3       multicast     128.9.0.203     128.0.0.1 128.0.0.2
    INTERFACE

    Specifies the underlying interfaces of the IPMP group.

    MODE

    Specifies the method for obtaining the probe targets.

    • routes indicates that the system routing table is used to find probe targets.

    • mcast indicates that multicast ICMP probes are used to find targets.

    • disabled indicates that probe-based failure detection has been disabled for the interface.

    TESTADDR

    Specifies the hostname or, if the -n option is used in conjunction with the -t option, the IP address that is assigned to the interface to send and receive probes. This field will be empty if a test address has not been configured.


    Note –

    If an IP interface is configured with both IPv4 and IPv6 test addresses, the probe target information is displayed separately for each test address.


    TARGETS

    Lists the current probe targets in a space-separated list. The probe targets are displayed either as hostnames or IP addresses, if the -n is used in conjunction with the -t option.
