For extra points, I'd suggest the user add static routes *naming the
output interface*, covering the probe destination traffic. Assuming
the 'target' lived in an adjacent network on fa 8/1, it'd look like:

ip route 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.255 fastEthernet 8/1 permanent name probe-target

This is important, as some cases exist (say, anycast internal
deployments) where a directly connected probed host is not up/working,
and the probe traffic somehow arrives at another pop or area which is
working, fooling the probing area into thinking a tracked object is
valid, and up/reachable.
