How to ping zabbix from router?

Question

Computer networks

There is a task to make check of availability of normal 8.8.8.8. without an agent. This happens, as I understand it, through icmpping. But there is one problem, two channels come to us, and the ping must go through a specific one, how can this be done? Specific piece of iron - allied telesis

Answer 1

on the router, write the statics
8.8.8.8 next-hop isp1
8.8.4.4 next-hop isp2
and ping to your health
really keep in mind - without a zabix agent, the ping is generated not by the router, but directly by the zabbix server (or proxy)
and what kind of router? on it it is impossible to configure own pingovalka and on snmp result to collect?
there is ip sla in the cisco for this, and in juniper rpm a
hundred years ago I just screwed zabbix to juniper rpm
and even wrote an article (debut) on Habré about it https://habr.com/en/post/349128/

Answer 2

Ping (Linux, at least) has the ability to specify the IP address or interface from which the packet will go. If your specific piece of hardware does not know how to do this, it may make sense to ping Google from somewhere because of it, from a smarter device.
