IP SLA Operations Beyond Firewall

I want to set up a one way operation to a couple of hosted servers out on the internet, before I configure an operation like I would normally do for an internal operation are there any caveats\firewall requirements I need to take into account before I setup this operation?

Thanks

Jon

ICMP Path Jitter doesn't require IPSLA responder on target or any machines on a path. So you should not need any special firewall configuration to make it work, other than that the target and all devices on a path (from the source IPSLA router) should obviously respond to ICMP packets.

What types of operations you plan to put in place? There are operations that use communication only using well-known ports (HTTP, FTP, DNS, etc.), other operations may be configured which ports to use and there are also operations that requires IPSLA responders running on targets, with the controlling communication going through port 1967 along with the main traffic on expected ports.

I'm looking at using the ICMP Path Jitter operation, are there any specific requirements on the firewall I need to take into account open up specific ports inbound\outbound?

Thanks
