Description
This command displays the health-check profile settings for measuring WAN reachability and latency on a
branch controller uplink, and the default probe profile settings for policy-based routing using next-hop lists.
Syntax
No parameters
Usage Guidelines
The health-check feature uses ping or UDP probes for measuring WAN reachability and latency. Policy-based
routing uses ping probes to determine the reachability of devices on a next-hop list.
Examples
The following command displays the current IP probe settings for the default and health-check IP probe
profiles.
