If you observe the 2nd column above, it shows the mode to identify the probe targets in case of a
probe based IPMP configuration. Different modes of failure detection are:
routes system routing table is used to find probe targets.
multicast multicast ICMP probes are used to find targets.
disabled probe based failure detection has been disabled.
transitive transitive probing is used to for failure detection.
And finally verify the configuration in the ifconfig command output.
