Hi all, been doing some tests with SystemEdge's Service Availability AIM recently. First, I was trying to do some TCP connect tests to servers using Cisco IPSLA which, as I found out, is able to do connect performance tests only vs. well known ports such as 23, 80 and so on, when having servers and no IPSLA responders (i.e. Cisco devices) on the other side. Happily, I found out (beside the fact that I do not need a license?!) that I can test connection to e.g. port 3128 to check by squid responsiveness et. al - but I am concerned that, just like when using the IPSLA functionality, whenever I shut down the squid on the machine I connect to, my test runs into a timeout event - even when I increase the timeout value to, say, 25,000 ms.
Am I missing something here? I was thinking that SPM gives me some connection failed event/alarm or something in reaction to an ICMP port unreachable that the machine running the SysEdge AIM gets when trying to do a SYN on the specified port. Experts?
