NSM Responder

This chapter covers some aspects related to the service nsm responder tool, which allows NSM responders to be configured to answer received active traffic probes.

Depending on the protocol through which to receive and answer the probes, the type of NSM responder must be configured using one of the following values:

  • udp: to receive and respond SLA UDP packets.

  • twamp: to receive and respond TWAMP-test packets (rfc5357).

It should be noted that in the case of ICMP probes there is no specific responder, since the system’s own ICMP mechanism can be used.

Finally, the port where the responder expects to receive probes must be configured.

Configuration

This is the syntax to create a service nsm responder:

set service nsm responder [ ... ]

Examples

SLA UDP responder

Imagine you want to configure an NSM responder to receive SLA UDP packets in port 60000.

In OSDx, this can be achieved by setting the following command:

set service nsm responder type udp port 60000

Here, you can find more examples related to service nsm responder.
