Hi Peter, Where is your Smokeping server? Is it "inside" your network pinging "out" over those two ISP connections? Or, is it on the "outside" (the Internet) pinging back at your server? There are pros & cons to each approach -- it all depends what you are trying to show.
There should be unique IP addresses on each of the ISP-connected routers. The IPs could either be: 1) unique to each ISP if you are using their addresses, or 2) two different parts of your address block if your organization has its own registered block. Maybe talk to the "router guys" in your shop for a unique address on each link (you can also use traceroute to explore these addresses). If your servers are inside, then you want the IP addresses at the ISP end of each link. If your servers are outside, then you want to IPs on your end of the links. Two other thoughts: 1) There can be multiple things you might want to ping your end: routers, firewalls, the actual servers, etc. The specifics depend on how everything is configered and what you are trying to measure. 2) You might want to measure several hops on each side of the connection. In other words, don't just measure the IP on the outside of your router/firewall, but also measure the first hop (or two, or three) into the ISP itself. That way, if problems (packet loss, etc) show up, it will give you a better feel for where they are occuring. Traceroute/tracert can also be useful here. Let me know if you need extra help. If you want, you could send a high-level picture (I would probably leave out detailed stuff like IPs) of what you are trying to do & I could make more specific recommendations.
