If you don't want to use SNMP to setup the SAA (RTR) probes on the Ciscos, then the following samples might be helpful.


icmpEcho (ping) - sample without history, i.e. no median support

	rtr 10
	 type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 10.100.100.121
	 frequency 5
	rtr schedule 10 start-time now ageout 3600


icmpEcho (ping) - sample with history, frequency set to fit 20 history values into a 5 minutes MRTG polling interval (IOS supports a maximum of 20 history values.  All of the other config samples below can be used with history.

	rtr 10
	 type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 10.100.100.121
	 frequency 14
	 lives-of-history-kept 1
	 buckets-of-history-kept 20
	 filter-for-history all
	rtr schedule 10 start-time now ageout 3600


TCPconnect (measure time from SYN to reception of SYN ACK)

	rtr 15
	 type tcpConnect dest-ipaddr 10.11.12.22 dest-port 80 control disable
	 timeout 5
	 frequency 30
	rtr schedule 15 life 180 start-time now ageout 60


DNS ( recursive, type A DNS query)

	rtr 20 
	 type dns target-addr www.cisco.com name-server 10.20.152.167
	 frequency 14
	rtr schedule 20 life 180 start-time now ageout 60


UDPecho to other Cisco with responder

	Cisco with Responder (10.30.171.251)
		rtr responder type udpEcho ipaddress 10.20.171.251 port 1111
		rtr responder
	Polling Cisco (10.20.171.251)
		rtr 25
		 type udpEcho  dest-ipaddr 10.30.171.251 dest-port 1111
		 timeout 1500
		 frequency 14
		rtr schedule 25 start-time now ageout 3600


UDPEcho to host with UDP "echo" service - the most precise according to Cisco

	rtr 30
	 type udpEcho  dest-ipaddr 10.12.143.246 dest-port 7 control disable
	 frequency 10
	rtr schedule 30 start-time now ageout 3600

If the responding host runs Cisco IOS then configure
	service udp-small-servers


ftp (unresolvable DNS names crash the Cisco in some IOS releases)

	rtr 35
	 type ftp operation get url ftp://user:password@ftp.foo.bar//testfile mode active
	 threshold 30000
	 timeout 30000
	rtr schedule 35 start-time now ageout 3600


another ping

 rtr 10
 type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 10.100.100.121 source-ipaddr 10.100.50.1
 frequency 5
 tos 160
 request-data-size 100
 rtr schedule 10 start-time now ageout 3600

Every 5 seconds the router sends a 100 byte ping from source address 10.100.50.1 to 10.100.100.121 with a ToS of 160 (precedence 5, DSCP 40).
