Command Modes

IP SLA endpoint-list auto-discovery configuration (config-epl-disc)

Command History

Release	Modification
15.1(1)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command assigns a name to a list of discovered IP addresses of IP SLAs destination devices and Cisco IOS IP SLAs Responder endpoints and adds the list to the auto IP SLAs endpoint list being configured.

Before you use this command, you must use the discovercommand in IP SLA endpoint-list configuration mode to build the list of endpoints on target Cisco devices.

To apply an endpoint list to an IP SLAs auto-measure group, use the destination command in IP SLA auto-measure group configuration mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an endpoint list using the auto discovery method:

Router(config)# ip sla auto discovery
Router(config)# ip sla auto endpoint-list type ip autolist
Router(config-epl)# discover port 5000
Router(config-epl-disc)# access-list 3
Router(config-epl-disc)# end
Router# show ip sla auto endpoint-list
Endpoint-list Name: autolist
    Description: 
    Auto Discover Parameters
        Destination Port: 5000
        Access-list: 3

12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.

Usage Guidelines

Standard IP access lists can be configured (using the access-list [IP standard] command in global configuration mode) to restrict the number of IP SLAs operations that are automatically created by the IP SLAs LSP Health Monitor. When the IP SLAs access list parameter is configured, the list of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) next hop neighbors discovered by the LSP Health Monitor is filtered based on the conditions defined by the associated standard IP access list. In other words, the LSP Health Monitor will automatically create IP SLAs operations only for those BGP next hop neighbors with source addresses that satisfy the criteria permitted by the standard IP access list.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure operation parameters, proactive threshold monitoring, and scheduling options using the LSP Health Monitor. In this example, LSP Health Monitor operation 1 is configured to automatically create IP SLAs LSP ping operations for all BGP next hop neighbors in use by all VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instances associated with the source Provider Edge (PE) router. Standard IP access list 10 is specified to restrict the number of IP SLAs operations to be created by LSP Health Monitor operation 1.

ageout

To add an ageout timer to an auto IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) scheduler or endpoint list, use the ageout command in IP SLA auto-measure schedule configuration or IP SLA endpoint-list auto-discovery configuration mode. To remove the timer, use the no form of this command.

ageout seconds

no ageout

Syntax Description

seconds

Length of time to keep an entry in memory, in seconds. Range is from 0 to 2073600. Default is 0.

Command Default

The entry is never saved in memory.

Command Modes

IP SLA auto-measure schedule configuration (config-am-schedule)

IP SLA endpoint-list auto-discovery configuration (config-epl-disc)

Command History

Release	Modification
15.1(1)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command changes the length of time an entry is kept in memory when either the operation or destination is inactive from the default (0) to the specified number, after which the entry is deleted from memory.

An operation can age out before it executes. To ensure that this does not happen, the difference between the time that the IP SLA auto-measure group is configured and the time at which the operation becomes active must be less than the value of the ageout timer.

Note

The total RAM required to hold the history and statistics tables is allocated when the auto IP SLAs operation is scheduled. This prevents router memory problems when the router gets heavily loaded and lowers the amount of overhead an auto IP SLAs operation causes on a router when it is active.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an auto IP SLAs scheduler that will cause an auto IP SLAs operation to actively collect data at 3:00 p.m. on April 5. The operation will age out after 12 hours of inactivity, which can be before it starts or after it has finished its life. When the operation ages out, all configuration information for the operation is removed from the running configuration in RAM.

Router(config)# ip sla auto schedule apr5
Router(config-am-schedule)# ageout 43200
Router(config-am-schedule)# frequency 70
Router(config-am-schedule)# life 43200
Router(config-am-schedule)# probe-interval 1500

Command Default

The default aggregate interval is 900 seconds.

Command Modes

IP SLA Y.1731 delay configuration (config-sla-y1731-delay)

IP SLA Y.1731 loss configuration (config-sla-y1731-loss)

Command History

Release	Modification
15.1(2)S	This command was introduced.
15.3(2)S	This command was implemented on the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

Usage Guidelines

An aggregate interval is the length of time during which the performance measurements are conducted and the results stored. Use this command to change the number of intervals for a delay, delay variation, or frame loss operation from the default (900 seconds) to the specified value.

The aggregate interval value must be less than the life value of the IP SLAs schedule. The default life value for an IP SLAs schedule or IP SLAs multioperation group scheduler configuration is 3600 seconds.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a single-ended IP SLAs Ethernet delay operation with an aggregate interval of 1500 seconds:

Router(config)# ip sla 10
Router(config-ip-sla)# ethernet y7131 delay dmm domain xxx evc yyy mpid 101 cos 3 source mpid 100
Router(config-sla-y1731-delay)# aggregate interval 1500

auto ip sla mpls-lsp-monitor reaction-configuration operation-number react lpd { lpd-group [ retry number ] | tree-trace } [ action-type trapOnly ]

no auto ip sla mpls-lsp-monitor reaction-configuration operation-number

Syntax Description

operation-number	Number of the LSP Health Monitor operation for which reactions are to be configured.
react connectionLoss	Enables monitoring of one-way connection loss events.
react timeout	Enables monitoring of one-way timeout events.
action-type option	(Optional) Specifies what action is performed when threshold events occur. If the threshold-type never keywords are defined, the action-type keyword is disabled. The option argument can be one of the following keywords: none --No action is taken. This option is the default value. trapOnly --SNMP trap notification is sent.
threshold-type consecutive [occurrences]	(Optional) When a threshold violation for the monitored element (such as a timeout) are met consecutively for a specified number of times, perform the action defined by the action-type keyword. The default number of 5 consecutive occurrences can be changed using the occurrences argument. The range is from 1 to 16.
threshold-type immediate	(Optional) When a threshold violation for the monitored element (such as a timeout) are met, immediately perform the action defined by the action-type keyword.
threshold-type never	(Optional) Do not calculate threshold violations. This option is the default threshold type.
lpd	(Optional) Specifies the LSP discovery option.
lpd-group	(Optional) Enables monitoring of LSP discovery group status changes.
retry number	(Optional) Specifies the number of times the equal-cost multipaths belonging to an LSP discovery group are retested when a failure is detected. After the specified number of retests have been completed, an SNMP trap notification may be sent depending on the current status of the LSP discovery group. See the “Usage Guidelines” section for more information. The value of the number argument is zero by default. Use the secondary frequency command to increase the frequency at which failed paths belonging to an LSP discovery group are retested. This command is not applicable if the retry value is set to zero.
tree-trace	(Optional) Enables monitoring of situations where LSP discovery to a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) next hop neighbor fails.
action-type trapOnly	(Optional) Enables SNMP trap notifications.

12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.

Usage Guidelines

You can configure the auto ip sla mpls-lsp-monitor reaction-configuration command multiple times to enable proactive threshold monitoring for multiple elements for the same operation. However, disabling of individual monitored elements is not supported. In other words, the no auto ip sla mpls-lsp-monitor reaction-configuration command will disable all proactive threshold monitoring configuration for the specified IP SLAs operation.

SNMP traps for IP SLAs are supported by the CISCO-RTTMON-MIB and CISCO-SYSLOG-MIB. Depending on the Cisco IOS software release that you are running, use the ip sla logging traps or ip sla monitor logging trapscommand to enable the generation of SNMP system logging messages specific to IP SLAs trap notifications. Use the snmp-server enable traps rtr command to enable the sending of IP SLAs SNMP trap notifications.

To display the current threshold monitoring configuration settings for an LSP Health Monitor operation, use the show ip sla mpls-lsp-monitor configuration command.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure operation parameters, proactive threshold monitoring, and scheduling options using the LSP Health Monitor. In this example, LSP Health Monitor operation 1 is configured to automatically create IP SLAs LSP ping operations for all Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) next hop neighbors in use by all VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instances associated with the source Provider Edge (PE) router. As specified by the proactive threshold monitoring configuration, when three consecutive connection loss or timeout events occur, an SNMP trap notification is sent.

12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.

Usage Guidelines

Use the auto ip sla mpls-lsp-monitor reset lpd group-number command to remove all the stored network connectivity statistics for the specified LSP discovery group from the LSP discovery group database. The non-statistical LSP discovery group data will be set to default values or zero. However, the IP address of the associated Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) next hop neighbor, the list of LSP discovery group IP SLAs operations, and the list of LSP selector IP addresses will be preserved. After the auto ip sla mpls-lsp-monitor reset lpd group-number command is entered, statistical data for the group will start aggregating again with new data only.

To clear IP SLAs configuration information (not including IP SLAs LSP Health Monitor configuration) from the running configuration, use the ip sla reset command in global configuration mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to remove all the LSP Health Monitor configurations from the running configuration:

auto ip sla mpls-lsp-monitor reset

no auto ip sla mpls-lsp-monitor schedule operation-number

Syntax Description

operation-number	Number of the LSP Health Monitor operation to be scheduled.
schedule-period seconds	Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) for which the LSP Health Monitor is scheduled.
frequency seconds	(Optional) Specifies the number of seconds after which each IP SLAs operation is restarted. The default frequency is the value specified for the schedule period.
start-time	(Optional) Time when the operation starts collecting information. If the start time is not specified, no information is collected.
after hh : mm : ss	(Optional) Indicates that the operation should start hh hours, mm minutes, and ss seconds after this command was entered.
hh : mm [: ss]	(Optional) Specifies an absolute start time using hours, minutes, and seconds. Use the 24-hour clock notation. For example, start-time 01:02 means “start at 1:02 a.m.,” and start-time 13:01:30 means “start at 1:01 p.m. and 30 seconds.” The current day is implied unless you specify a month and day.
month	(Optional) Name of the month in which to start the operation. If a month is not specified, the current month is used. Use of this argument requires that a day be specified. You can specify the month by using either the full English name or the first three letters of the month.
day	(Optional) Number of the day (in the range 1 to 31) on which to start the operation. If a day is not specified, the current day is used. Use of this argument requires that a month be specified.
now	(Optional) Indicates that the operation should start immediately.
pending	(Optional) No information is collected. This option is the default value.

Examples

The following example shows how to change the availability algorithm for an already configured IP SLAs Metro-Ethernet 3.0 (Y.1731) frame loss ratio operation from the default (static-window) to sliding-window:

Router (config-term)# ip sla 11
Router(config-sla-y1731-loss)# availability algorithm sliding-window
Router (config-sla-y1731-loss)#

bitrate

To configure the maximum bit-rate or bit-rate window size parameter in a predefined or custom synthetic video traffic profile for an IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) video operation, use the bitrate command in the appropriate IP SLA VO profile endpoint configuration submode. To return the bit-rate values to the default, use the no form of this command.

bitrate { maximum max-bitrate | window-size window-size }

no bitrate { maximum max-bitrate | window-size window-size }

Syntax Description

maximum max-bitrate	Specifies maximum bit-rate in kilobits per second (kb/s). The following values are valid for the video traffic profile being configured: For CP-9900: The range is from 60 to 1000. For CTS: The valid options are 1000, 1500, 2250, 3000, 3500, 4000, or 936. For custom: The range is from 10 to 4000. For a description of each traffic profile type, see the "Usage Guidelines" section.
window-size window-size	Specifies the bit-rate window size in milliseconds. The range is from 0 to 5000. The default is 500.

Command Default

There is no maximum bit-rate parameter configured. The default value for bit-rate window size is 500 milliseconds.

Command Modes

IP SLA VO CP9900 profile endpoint configuration (cfg-ipslavo-cp9900-profile)

IP SLA VO CTS profile endpoint configuration (cfg-ipslavo-cts-profile)

IP SLA VO custom profile endpoint configuration (cfg-ipslavo-custom-profile)

Command History

Release	Modification
15.2(2)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the bitrate command to configure the maximum bit-rate parameter, or change the value of the bit-rate window-size parameter from the default (500) to the specificd value, in a video profile for the following video endpoint types:

CP-9900—Cisco Unified 9900 Series IP Phone System (CP-9900).
CTS—Cisco Telepresence System 1000/3000 (CTS-1000/3000)
custom—Customized video endpoint type.

There are restrictions based on the relationships between maximum bit rate, frame rate, and resolution, also known as bandwidth. For the user-defined endpoint types, the table below includes the maximum bit rates allowable in relation to the frame per second (fps) rates and resolution. Cisco IOS software allows you to enter the values of these three parameters in any order and verifies that their combination is within a valid range, as specified. For example, if a 1080 pixels (p) resolution at 30 fps is chosen, the valid maximum bit-rate range is between 1500 and 4000 kb/s.

Table 1 Maximum Bit Rates Allowable for Frame Rates and Resolution in Custom Endpoints
Resolution and Frame Rate	30/24 fps	15 fps	10 fps	7.5 fps	5 fps
QCIF	60–256 kb/s	32–160 kb/s	20–118 kb/s	15–96 kb/s	10–74 kb/s
CIF/SIG/QVGA	128–1000 kb/s	64–564 kb/s	43–397 kb/s	32–314 kb/s	22–230 kb/s
VGA/4CIF/4SIF	384–2000 kb/s	192–1128 kb/s	128–795 kb/s	96–628 kb/s	64–461 kb/s
720p	800–2500 kb/s	400–1506 kb/s	267–1089 kb/s	200–881 kb/s	133–673 kb/s
1080p	1500–4000 kb/s	750–2512 kb/s	500–1845 kb/s	375–1512 kb/s	250–1179 kb/s

Examples

The following example shows how to use the bitrate command to configure the maximum bit-rate and to change the bitrate widow-size parameters in a user-defined custom synthetic video traffic profile:

Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# ip sla profile video my-profile
Router(cfg-ipslavo-profile)# endpoint custom
Router(cfg-ipslavo-custom-profile)# bitrate maximum 1000 
Router(cfg-ipslavo-custom-profile)# bitrate window-size 400

buckets-of-history-kept

Note

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)T, 12.2(33)SRB, 12.2(33)SB, and 12.2(33)SXI, the buckets-of-history-keptcommand is replaced by the history buckets-keptcommand. See the history buckets-keptcommand for more information.

To set the number of history buckets that are kept during the lifetime of a Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) operation, use the buckets-of-history-keptcommand in the appropriate submode of IP SLA monitor configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

buckets-of-history-kept size

no buckets-of-history-kept

Syntax Description

size	Number of history buckets kept during the lifetime of the operation. The default is 50.

Command Default

50 buckets

Command Modes

DHCP configuration (config-sla-monitor-dhcp)

DLSw configuration (config-sla-monitor-dlsw)

Command History

Release	Modification
11.2	This command was introduced.
12.4(4)T	This command was replaced by the history buckets-keptcommand.
12.2(33)SRB	This command was replaced by the history buckets-keptcommand.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.
12.2(33)SB	This command was replaced by the history buckets-kept command.
12.2(33)SXI	This command was replaced by the history buckets-kept command.

Usage Guidelines

Each time IP SLAs starts an operation, a new bucket is created until the number of history buckets matches the specified size or the operation’s lifetime expires. History buckets do not wrap (that is, the oldest information is not replaced by newer information). The operation’s lifetime is defined by the ip sla monitor schedule global configuration command.

Note

The buckets-of-history-kept command does not support the IP SLAs User Datagram Protocol (UDP) jitter operation.

An IP SLAs operation can collect history and capture statistics. By default, the history for an IP SLAs operation is not collected. If history is collected, each history bucket contains one or more history entries from the operation. When the operation type is ICMP path echo, an entry is created for each hop along the path that the operation takes to reach its destination. The type of entry stored in the history table is controlled by the filter-for-history command. The total number of entries stored in the history table is controlled by the combination of the samples-of-history-kept, buckets-of-history-kept, and lives-of-history-kept commands.

Note

Collecting history increases the RAM usage. Collect history only when you think there is a problem in the network.

Note

You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure IP SLAs ICMP echo operation 1 to keep 25 history buckets during the operation lifetime.

ip sla monitor 1
 type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 172.16.161.21
 buckets-of-history-kept 25
 lives-of-history-kept 1
!
ip sla monitor schedule 1 start-time now life forever

Related Commands

Command	Description
filter-for-history	Defines the type of information kept in the history table for the IP SLAs operation.
ip sla monitor	Begins configuration for an IP SLAs operation and enters IP SLA monitor configuration mode.
lives-of-history-kept	Sets the number of lives maintained in the history table for the IP SLAs operation.
samples-of-history-kept	Sets the number of entries kept in the history table per bucket for the IP SLAs operation.

clock-tolerance ntp oneway

To set the acceptable Network Time Protocol (NTP) clock synchronization tolerance for a one-way Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) operation measurement, use the clock-tolerancentponeway command in the appropriate UDP jitter submode of IP SLA configuration, IP SLA monitor configuration, or IP SLA template parameters configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

clock-tolerance ntp oneway { absolute value | percent value }

no clock-tolerance ntp oneway

Syntax Description

absolute value	Sets the NTP synchronization tolerance value to an absolute number, in microseconds. The range is from 0 to 100000.
percent value	Sets the NTP synchronization tolerance value as a percentage of the one-way IP SLAs operation delay measurement. The range is from 0 to 100. The NTP clock synchronization tolerance is set to 0 percent by default.

Command Default

The NTP clock synchronization tolerance is set to 0 percent.

Usage Guidelines

The precisionmicroseconds command must be configured before the clock-tolerancentponewaycommand is used.

Note

This command is supported by the IP SLAs User Datagram Protocol (UDP) jitter operation only.

If the NTP running state is true and the total offset (sum of the offset for the sender and responder) is within the specified tolerance value (defined using the clock-tolerancentponeway command) of a one-way IP SLAs operation measurement for all the packets in a stream, the NTP synchronization status is determined to be synchronized. If these conditions are not met, the status is determined to be not synchronized.

The following guidelines apply to the displayed output:

If the NTP synchronization status is determined to be synchronized, the one-way IP SLAs delay measurement values will be displayed.
If the NTP synchronization status is determined to be not synchronized, the one-way values will be zero.
The total number of operational packets that are not synchronized will be tracked during the collection period and reported.

IP SLAs Operation Configuration Dependence on Cisco IOS Release

The Cisco IOS command used to begin configuration for an IP SLAs operation varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table below). You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP) jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

The configuration mode for the clock-tolerancentponeway command varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table below) and the operation type configured.

If you are using auto IP SLAs in Cisco IOS IP SLAs Engine 3.0, you must enter the parameters command in IP SLA template configuration mode before you can use the clock-tolerancentponewaycommand.

Table 2 Command Used to Begin Configuration of an IP SLAs Operation Based on Cisco IOS Release
Cisco IOS Release	Global Configuration Command	Command Mode Entered
12.4(4)T, 12.0(32)SY, 12.2(33)SRB, 12.2(33)SB, or later releases	ip sla	IP SLA configuration

codec (tplt)

To configure codec in an auto IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) operation template for a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) jitter operation that returns VoIP scores, use the codeccommand in UDP jitter submode of the IP SLA template configuration mode.

codec codec-type [ advantage-factor value ] [ codec-numpackets number-of-packets ] [ codec-interval milliseconds ] [ codec-size number-of-bytes ]

Syntax Description

codec-type	The following codec-type keywords are valid: g711alaw --The G.711 a-law codec (64 kbps transmission) g711ulaw --The G.711 mu-law codec (64 kbps transmission) g729a --The G.729A codec (8 kbps transmission)
advantage-factor	(Optional) Specifies expectation factor to be used for ICPIF calculations.
value	Range is from 0 to 20. Default is 0. For recommended values, see the Advantage Factor Recommended Maximum Values table below.
codec-numpackets	(Optional) Specifies number of packets to be transmitted per operation.
number-of-packets	Range is from 1 to 60000. Default is 1000.
codec-interval	(Optional) Specifies interval between packets in operation.
milliseconds	Length of interval, in milliseconds (ms). Range is from 1 to 60000. Default is 20.
codec-size	(Optional) Specifies number of bytes in each packet transmitted.
number-of-bytes	Range is from 16 to 1500. Default varies by codec. For default values, see the Default UDP Jitter Operation Parameters by Codec table below.

Command Default

A codec is not configured in the auto IP SLAs operation template being configured.

Command Modes

IP SLA UDP jitter template configuration (config-tplt-udp-jtr)

Command History

Release	Modification
15.1(1)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command configures the codec in an auto IP SLAs operation template for a UDP jitter operation and generates ICPIF and MOS scores, based on the specified codec type.

The specified codec-type should match the encoding algorithm being used for VoIP transmissions.

You must configure the type of auto IP SLAs operation,such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP) jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo, before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

A UDP jitter operation computes statistics by sending n UDP packets, each of size s , sent t msec apart, from a given source router to a given target router, at a given frequency f . Based on the type of codec you configure for the operation, the number of packets (n ), the size of each payload (s ), the interpacket time interval (t ), and the operational frequency (f ) are auto-configured with default values or you can manually configure these parameters using the keyword and argument combinations in this command.

Note

You should not specify values for the interval, size, and number of packet options unless you have a specific reason to override the defaults; for example, to approximate a different codec.

The table below lists the default values for each parameter by codec.

Table 3 Default UDP Jitter Operation Parameters by Codec
Codec	Default Number of Packets (n ); [codec- numpackets]	Packet Payload (s ) [codec-size]¹	Default Interval Between Packets (t ) [codec-interval]	Frequency of Operations (f )
G.711 mu-law (g711ulaw)	1000	160 bytes	20 ms	Once every 60 seconds
G.711 a-law (g711alaw)	1000	160 bytes	20 ms	Once every 60 seconds
G.729A (g729a)	1000	20 bytes	20 ms	Once every 60 seconds

¹ The actual data size of each request packet will contain an additional 12 bytes of Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) header data in order to simulate the RTP/UDP/IP/Layer 2 protocol stack.

The advantage-factorvalue keyword and argument allow you to specify an access Advantage Factor, also known as the Expectation Factor.the table below, adapted from ITU-T Rec. G.113, defines a set of provisional maximum values for Advantage Factors in terms of the service provided.

Table 4 Advantage Factor Recommended Maximum Values
Communication Service	Maximum Value of Advantage/ Expectation Factor (A ):
Conventional wire line (land line)	0
Mobility (cellular connections) within a building	5
Mobility within a geographical area or moving within a vehicle	10
Access to hard-to-reach location; for example, via multihop satellite connections	20

These values are only suggestions. To be meaningful, the Advantage/Expectation factor (A ) and its selected value in a specific application should be used consistently in any planning model you adopt. However, the values in the table above should be considered as the absolute upper limits for A . The default Advantage/Expectation factor for UDP jitter operations is always zero.

Examples

In the following example, an auto IP SLAs operation template for a UDP jitter (codec) operation is configured to use the default characteristics of the G.711 a-law codec, which means the operation will consist of 1000 packets, each of 172 bytes (160 plus 12 header bytes), sent 20 ms apart. The default value for the Advantage Factor and operations frequency is used.

Command History

Release	Modification
12.1(1)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

The data-pattern command allows users to specify an alphanumeric character string to verify that operation payload does not get corrupted in either direction (source-to-destination [SD] or destination-to-source [DS]).

Note

The data-pattern command is supported by the IP SLAs User Datagram Protocol (UDP) echo operation only.

This command is supported in IPv4 networks and in IPv6 networks.

IP SLAs Operation Configuration Dependence on Cisco IOS Release

The Cisco IOS command used to begin configuration for an IP SLAs operation varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table below). You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

The configuration mode for the data-pattern command varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table below) and the operation type configured. For example, if you are running Cisco IOS Release 12.4 and the UDP echo operation type is configured, you would enter the data-pattern command in UDP echo configuration mode (config-sla-monitor-udp) within IP SLA monitor configuration mode.

Table 5 Command Used to Begin Configuration of an IP SLAs Operation Based on Cisco IOS Release
Cisco IOS Release	Global Configuration Command	Command Mode Entered
12.4(4)T, 12.0(32)SY, 12.2(33)SRB, 12.2(33)SB, 12.2(33)SXI or later releases	ip sla	IP SLA configuration
12.3(14)T, 12.4, 12.4(2)T, 12.2(31)SB2, or 12.2(33)SXH	ip sla monitor	IP SLA monitor configuration

Examples

The following examples show how to specify 1234ABCD5678 as the data pattern. Note that the Cisco IOS command used to begin configuration for an IP SLAs operation varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table above).

The examples show the data-pattern command being used in an IPv4 network.

delete-scan-factor

To specify the number of times the IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) label switched path (LSP) Health Monitor should check the scan queue before automatically deleting IP SLAs operations for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) next hop neighbors that are no longer valid, use the delete-scan-factor command in auto IP SLA MPLS parameters configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

delete-scan-factor factor

no delete-scan-factor

Syntax Description

factor

Number of times the LSP Health Monitor should check the scan queue before automatically deleting IP SLAs operations for BGP next hop neighbors that are no longer valid.

Command Default

The default scan factor is 1. In other words, each time the LSP Health Monitor checks the scan queue for updates, it deletes IP SLAs operations for BGP next hop neighbors that are no longer valid.

Command Modes

Auto IP SLA MPLS parameters configuration (config-auto-ip-sla-mpls-params)

Command History

Release	Modification
12.2(27)SBC	This command was introduced.

12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.

Usage Guidelines

This command must be used with the scan-interval command. Use the scan-interval command to specify the time interval at which the LSP Health Monitor checks the scan queue for BGP next hop neighbor updates.

Note

If the scan factor is set to 0, IP SLAs operations will not be automatically deleted by the LSP Health Monitor. This configuration is not recommended.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure operation parameters, proactive threshold monitoring, and scheduling options using the LSP Health Monitor. In this example, LSP Health Monitor operation 1 is configured to automatically create IP SLAs LSP ping operations for all Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) next hop neighbors in use by all VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instances associated with the source Provider Edge (PE) router. The delete scan factor is set to 2. In other words, every other time the LSP Health Monitor checks the scan queue for updates, it deletes IP SLAs operations for BGP next hop neighbors that are no longer valid.

dhcp (IP SLA)

To configure a Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) operation, use the dhcpcommand in IP SLA configuration mode.

dhcp { destination-ip-address | destination-hostname } [ source-ip { ip-address | hostname } ] [ option-82 [ circuit-id circuit-id ] [ remote-id remote-id ] [ subnet-mask subnet-mask ] ]

Syntax Description

destination-ip-address \| destination-hostname	D estination IP address or hostname .
source-ip {ip-address \| hostname}	(Optional) Specifies the source IP address or hostname . When a source IP address or hostname is not specified, IP SLAs chooses the IP address nearest to the destination.
option-82	(Optional) Specifies DHCP option 82 for the destination DHCP server.
circuit-id circuit-id	(Optional) Specifies the circuit ID in hexadecimal.
remote-id remote-id	(Optional) Specifies the remote ID in hexadecimal.
subnet-mask subnet-mask	(Optional) Specifies the subnet mask IP address. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Command Default

No IP SLAs operation type is configured for the operation being configured.

Command Modes

IP SLA configuration (config-ip-sla)

Command History

Release	Modification
12.4(4)T	This command was introduced. This command replaces the type dhcp command.
12.2(33)SRB	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB. This command replaces the type dhcp command.
12.2(33)SB	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB. This command replaces the type dhcpcommand.
12.2(33)SXI	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXI. This command replaces the type dhcpcommand.

Usage Guidelines

If the source IP address is configured, then packets will be sent with that source address.

You may configure the ip dhcp-server global configuration command to identify the DHCP server that the DHCP operation will measure. If the target IP address is configured, then only that device will be measured. If the ip dhcp-server command is not configured and the target IP address is not configured, then DHCP discover packets will be sent on every available IP interface.

Option 82 is called the Relay Agent Information option and is inserted by the DHCP relay agent when client-originated DHCP packets are forwarded to a DHCP server. Servers recognizing the Relay Agent Information option may use the information to implement IP address or other parameter assignment policies. The DHCP server echoes the option back verbatim to the relay agent in server-to-client replies, and the relay agent strips the option before forwarding the reply to the client.

The Relay Agent Information option is organized as a single DHCP option that contains one or more suboptions that convey information known by the relay agent. The initial suboptions are defined for a relay agent that is colocated in a public circuit access unit. These suboptions are as follows: a circuit ID for the incoming circuit, a remote ID that provides a trusted identifier for the remote high-speed modem, and a subnet mask designation for the logical IP subnet from which the relay agent received the client DHCP packet.

Note

If an odd number of characters are specified for the circuit ID, a zero will be added to the end of the string.

You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation. To change the operation type of an existing IP SLAs operation, you must first delete the IP SLAs operation (using the no ip slaglobal configuration command) and then reconfigure the operation with the new operation type.

Examples

In the following example, IP SLAs operation number 4 is configured as a DHCP operation enabled for DHCP server 172.16.20.3:

ip sla 4 
 dhcp option-82 circuit-id 10005A6F1234 
ip dhcp-server 172.16.20.3
!
ip sla schedule 4 start-time now

Command Modes

IP SLA endpoint-list configuration (config-epl)

Command History

Release	Modification
15.1(1)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command discovers and builds a list of destination IP addresses to be added to an endpoint list for IP SLAs auto-measure groups.

Before using this command, use the ip sla auto discovery command to enable auto-discovery.

Before using this command, use the ip sla responder auto-register command on the destination Cisco device to enable endpoints to register with source upon configuration.

Destination IP addresses can either be automatically discovered by using this command or manually configured using the ip-address command. If you use this command to build an endpoint list, you cannot use the ip-address command to manually add or remove IP addresses in an endpoint list.

To add the discovered list of destination IP addresses to the endpoint list being configured, use the access-list command in IP SLA endpoint-list auto-discovery configuration mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an endpoint list using the auto discovery method:

Examples

Router(config)# ip sla responder auto-register 10.1.1.25
Router(config)#

Examples

Router(config)# ip sla auto discovery
Router(config)# ip sla auto endpoint-list type ip autolist
Router(config-epl)# discover port 5000

distribution

To configure statistics distributions for an IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) Metro-Ethernet 3.0 (ITU-T Y.1731) operation, use the distribution command in IP SLA Y.1731 delay configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of the command.

distribution { delay | delay-variation } { one-way | two-way } number-of-bins boundary [ ,...,boundary ]

no distribution { delay | delay-variation } { one-way | two-way }

Syntax Description

delay	Specifies that the performance measurement type is delay. This is the default value, along with delay variation.
delay-variation	Specifies that the performance measurement type is delay variation. This is the default value, along with delay.
one-way	Specifies one-way measurement values. This is the default for a dual-ended operation.
two-way	Specifies two-way measurement values. This is the default for a single-ended operation.
number-of-bins	Number of bins kept during an aggregate interval. Range is from 1 to 10. Default is 10.
boundary [,...,boundary]	List of upper boundaries for bins in microseconds. Minimum number of boundaries required is one. Maximum allowed value for the uppermost boundary is -1 microsecond. Multiple values must be separated by a comma (,). Default is 5000,10000,15000,20000,25000,30000,35000,40000,45000, -1.

Command Default

The default for distribution is 10 bins with upper boundaries of 5000, 10000,15000,20000,25000,30000,35000,40000,45000,-1, for both delay and delay-variation performance measurements.

Command Modes

IP SLA Y.1731 delay configuration (config-sla-y1731-delay)

Command History

Release	Modification
15.1(2)S	This command was introduced.
15.3(2)S	This command was implemented on the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command change the type of performance measurements to be calculated and the number and range of distribution bins from the defaults (10 bins with upper boundaries of 5000,10000,15000,20000,25000,30000,35000,40000,45000,-1, for both delay and delay-variation performance measurements) to the specified values.

Configure this command on the Maintenance End Point (MEP) that performs the performance measurement calculation. For single-ended operations, calculations are performed at the sender MEP. For dual-ended operations, calculations are performed at the receiver MEP on the responder.

Statistics distributions are defined by number and range of bins per interval.

A bin is a counter that counts the number of measurements initiated and completed during a specified length of time for each operation. The results of performance measurements falling within a specified range are stored in each bin. When the number of distributions reaches the number and range specified, no further distribution-based information is stored.

The lower bound value for the first upper boundary is always 0 microseconds, such as 0 to 5000 microseconds for the default first upper boundary.

The maximum allowed value for the uppermost boundary is -1 microsecond.

An aggregate interval is the length of time during which the performance measurements are conducted and the results stored. You can configure the interval by using the aggregate interval command.

To avoid significant impact on router memory, careful consideration should be used when configuring distribution.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the sender MEP to calculate two-way, delay-variation performance measurements for a single-ended IP SLAs Metro-Ethernet 3.0 (ITU-T Y.1731) operation, and store the statistics in five bins:

Router(config-term)# ip sla 10
Router(config-ip-sla)# ethernet y1731 delay dmm domain xxx evc yyy mpid 101 cos 3 source mpid 100
Router(config-sla-y1731-delay)# distribution delay-variation two-way 5 5000,10000,15000,20000-1
Router(config-sla-y1731-delay)#

Command History

Release	Modification
11.2	This command was introduced.
12.4(4)T	This command was replaced by the history distributions-of-statistics-keptcommand.
12.2(33)SRB	This command was replaced by the history distributions-of-statistics-keptcommand.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.
12.2(33)SB	This command was replaced by the history distributions-of-statistics-kept command.
12.2(33)SXI	This command was replaced by the history distributions-of-statistics-kept command.

Usage Guidelines

In most situations, you do not need to change the number of statistics distributions kept or the time interval for each distribution. Only change these parameters when distributions are needed, for example, when performing statistical modeling of your network. To set the statistics distributions interval, use the statistics-distribution-intervalcommand.

When the number of distributions reaches the size specified, no further distribution-based information is stored.

For the IP SLAs Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) path echo operation, the amount of router memory required to maintain the distribution statistics table is based on multiplying all of the values set by the following four commands:

distributions-of-statistics-kept
hops-of-statistics-kept
paths-of-statistics-kept
hours-of-statistics-kept

The general equation used to calculate the memory requirement to maintain the distribution statistics table for an ICMP path echo operation is as follows: Memory allocation = (160 bytes) * (distributions-of-statistics-kept size) * (hops-of-statistics-kept size) * (paths-of-statistics-kept size) * (hours-of-statistics-kept hours)

Note

To avoid significant impact on router memory, careful consideration should be used when configuring the distributions-of-statistics-kept, hops-of-statistics-kept, paths-of-statistics-kept, and hours-of-statistics-kept commands.

Note

You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the statistics distribution to 5 and the distribution interval to 10 ms for IP SLAs ICMP echo operation 1. Consequently, the first distribution will contain statistics from 0 to 9 ms, the second distribution will contain statistics from 10 to 19 ms, the third distribution will contain statistics from 20 to 29 ms, the fourth distribution will contain statistics from 30 to 39 ms, and the fifth distribution will contain statistics from 40 ms to infinity.

dlsw peer-ipaddr ip-address

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the peer destination.

Command Default

No IP SLAs operation type is configured for the operation being configured.

Command Modes

IP SLA configuration (config-ip-sla)

Command History

Release	Modification
12.4(4)T	This command was introduced. This command replaces the type dlsw peer-ipaddr command.

Usage Guidelines

To configure an IP SLAs DLSw+ operation, the DLSw+ feature must be configured on the local and target routers.

For DLSw+ operations, the default request packet data size is 0 bytes (use the request-data-size command to modify this value) and the default amount of time the operation waits for a response from the request packet is 30 seconds (use the timeout command to modify this value).

You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation. To change the operation type of an existing IP SLAs operation, you must first delete the IP SLAs operation (using the no ip slaglobal configuration command) and then reconfigure the operation with the new operation type.

Examples

In the following example, IP SLAs operation number 10 is configured as a DLSw+ operation enabled for remote peer IP address 172.21.27.11. The data size is 15 bytes:

ip sla 10
 dlsw peer-ipaddr 172.21.27.11
 request-data-size 15
!
ip sla schedule 4 start-time now

IP SLAs Operation Configuration Dependence on Cisco IOS Release

The Cisco IOS command used to begin configuration for an IP SLAs operation varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the Command Used to Begin Configuration of an IP SLAs Operation Based on Cisco IOS Release table). Note that if you are configuring an IP SLAs label switched path (LSP) Health Monitor operation, refer to the Command Used to Begin Configuration of an IP SLAs LSP Health Monitor Operation Based on Cisco IOS Release table, for information on Cisco IOS release dependencies. You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as LSP ping) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

The configuration mode for the exp (IP SLA) command varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running and the operation type configured. For example, if you are running Cisco IOS Release 12.4(6)T and the LSP ping operation type is configured (without using the LSP Health Monitor), you would enter the exp (IP SLA) command in LSP ping configuration mode (config-sla-monitor-lspPing) within IP SLA configuration mode.

filter-for-history

Note

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)T, 12.2(33)SRB, 12.2(33)SB, and 12.2(33)SXI, the filter-for-historycommand is replaced by the history filtercommand. See the history filtercommand for more information.

To define the type of information kept in the history table for a Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) operation, use the filter-for-historycommand in the appropriate submode of IP SLA monitor configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

filter-for-history { none | all | overThreshold | failures }

no filter-for-history { none | all | overThreshold | failures }

Syntax Description

none	No history kept. This is the default.
all	All operations attempted are kept in the history table.
overThreshold	Only packets that are over the threshold are kept in the history table.
failures	Only packets that fail for any reason are kept in the history table.

Command Default

No IP SLAs history is kept for an operation.

Command Modes

DHCP configuration (config-sla-monitor-dhcp)

DLSw configuration (config-sla-monitor-dlsw)

Command History

Release	Modification
11.2	This command was introduced.
12.4(4)T	This command was replaced by the history filtercommand.
12.2(33)SRB	This command was replaced by the history filtercommand.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.
12.2(33)SB	This command was replaced by the history filter command.
12.2(33)SXI	This command was replaced by the history filter command.

Usage Guidelines

Use the filter-for-history command to control what gets stored in the history table for an IP SLAs operation. To control how much history gets saved in the history table, use the lives-of-history-kept, buckets-of-history-kept, and the samples-of-history-keptcommands.

Note

The filter-for-history command does not support the IP SLAs User Datagram Protocol (UDP) jitter operation.

An IP SLAs operation can collect history and capture statistics. By default, the history for an IP SLAs operation is not collected. If history is collected, each history bucket contains one or more history entries from the operation. When the operation type is ICMP path echo, an entry is created for each hop along the path that the operation takes to reach its destination. The type of entry stored in the history table is controlled by the filter-for-history command. The total number of entries stored in the history table is controlled by the combination of the samples-of-history-kept, buckets-of-history-kept, and lives-of-history-kept commands.

Note

Collecting history increases the RAM usage. Collect history only when you think there is a problem in the network.

Note

You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

Examples

In the following example, only operation packets that fail are kept in the history table.

ip sla monitor 1
 type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 172.16.161.21
 lives-of-history-kept 1
 filter-for-history failures
!
ip sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now

Related Commands

Command	Description
buckets-of-history-kept	Sets the number of history buckets that are kept during the lifetime of the IP SLAs operation.
ip sla monitor	Begins configuration for an IP SLAs operation and enters IP SLA monitor configuration mode.
lives-of-history-kept	Sets the number of lives maintained in the history table for the IP SLAs operation.
samples-of-history-kept	Sets the number of entries kept in the history table per bucket for the IP SLAs operation.

flow-label (IP SLA)

To define the flow label field in the IPv6 header of a Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) operation, use the flow-label (IP SLA) command in the appropriate submode of IP SLA configuration or IP SLA monitor configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

flow-label number

no flow-label

Syntax Description

number

Value in the flow label field of the IPv6 header. The range is from 0 to 1048575 (or FFFFF hexadecimal). This value can be preceded by “0x” to indicate hexadecimal notation. The default value is 0.

Command Default

The default flow label value is 0.

Command Modes

ICMP echo configuration (config-ip-sla-echo)

TCP connect configuration (config-ip-sla-tcp)

UDP echo configuration (config-ip-sla-udp)

12.2(33)SB	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB.
12.4(20)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T.

Usage Guidelines

The flow label value is stored in a a 20-bit field in the IPv6 packet header and is used by a source to label packets of a flow.

A flow label value of zero is used to indicate packets that are not part of any flow.

When the flow label is defined for an operation, the IP SLAs Responder will reflect the flow-label value it receives.

Note

This command is applicable only to IPv6 networks.

To display the flow label value for all Cisco IOS IP SLAs operations or a specified operation, use the show ip sla configuration command.

Examples

In the following example, IP SLAs operation 1 is configured as an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo operation with destination IPv6 address 2001:DB8:100::1. The value in the flow label field of the IPv6 header is set to 0x1B669.

frame (VO profile)

To configure the frame rate, maximum intra-frame size, or maximum intra refresh interval parameters in a user-defined video traffic profile for an IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) video operation, use the frame command in the appropriate IP SLA VO profile endpoint configuration submode. To remove the configured frame values, use the no form of this command.

frame { rate rate | intra { size maximum max-size | refresh interval seconds } }

no frame { rate seconds | intra { size maximum max-size | refresh interval seconds } }

Syntax Description

rate rate	Specifies the frame rate in frames per second (fps). The following values are valid for the video traffic profile being configured: For CP-9900: 10, 15, or 30. For CTS: 30. For custom: 10, 15, 24, 30, 5, or 7.5. For a description of each traffic profile type, see the "Usage Guidelines" section.
intra	Configures the maximum size or the refresh interval for intra-frame.
size maximum max-size	Specifies the maximum size of the intra-frame in kilobytes (KB/s). The range is from 0 to 250. The default is 50.
refresh interval interval	Specifies the refresh interval of the intra-frame in seconds. The range is from 0 to 300. The default is 0.

Command Default

The default values are as follows:

No frame rate is specified in the video profile.
The maximum size of the intra-frame is 50 KB/s.
The refresh interval of the intra-frame is 0 seconds.

Command Modes

IP SLA VO CP9900 profile endpoint configuration (cfg-ipslavo-cp9900-profile)

IP SLA VO CTS profile endpoint configuration (cfg-ipslavo-cts-profile)

IP SLA VO custom profile endpoint configuration (cfg-ipslavo-custom-profile)

Command History

Release	Modification
15.2(2)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the frame command to configure the frame rate per second parameter in a video profile for the following video endpoint types:

CP-9900—Cisco Unified 9900 Series IP Phone System (CP-9900).
CTS—Cisco Telepresence System 1000/3000 (CTS-1000/3000)
custom—Customized video endpoint type.

You can also use this command to change the value of the maximum size or the refresh interval parameter from the default (50 KB/s or 0 seconds, respectively) to the specified value.

There are restrictions based on the relationships between maximum bit rate, frame rate, and resolution, also known as bandwidth. For the user-defined endpoint types, the table below includes the maximum bit rates allowable in relation to the frame per second (fps) rates and resolution. Cisco IOS software allows you to enter the values of these three parameters in any order and verifies that their combination is within a valid range, as specified. For example, if a 1080 pixels (p) resolution at 30 fps is chosen, the valid maximum bit-rate range is between 1500 and 4000 kb/s.

frequency (am-schedule)

To set the frequency characteristic in an auto IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) scheduler for restarting auto IP SLAs operations, use the frequency command in IP SLA auto-measure schedule configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

frequency { seconds | range random-frequency-range }

no frequency

Syntax Description

seconds	Length of time before an operation repeats, in seconds (sec). Range is from 0 to 604800. Default is 60.
range	Specifies frequencies at which auto IP SLAs operations that share the same schedule will restart are chosen randomly within the specified frequency range. Default is disabled.
random-frequency-range	Lower and upper limits of the range, in seconds, and separated by a hyphen (-), such as 80-100. The hyphen (-) is required.

Command Default

Auto IP SLAs operations restart every 60 sec.

Command Modes

IP SLA auto-measure schedule configuration (config-am-schedule)

Command History

Release	Modification
15.1(1)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command changes the value of frequency in an auto IP SLAs scheduler from the default (every 60 sec) to the specified value. The frequency characteristic determines how often an operation in an IP SLAs auto-measure group will repeat once it is started.

Use the probe-interval command to configure the interval between the start time of one operation and the start time of the next operation being controlled by the same auto IP SLAs scheduler.

Random Scheduler

The random scheduler option provides the capability to schedule auto IP SLAs operations that share the same scheduler to begin at random intervals over a specified duration of time. The random scheduler option is disabled by default.

To enable the random scheduler option, you must configure the range random-frequency-range keyword and argument combination. Auto IP SLAs operations being controlled by a random scheduler restart at uniformly distributed random frequencies within the specified frequency range. The following guidelines apply for setting the random frequency range:

The starting value of the range should be greater than the timeout value of the operations controlled by the scheduler being configured.
The starting value of the frequency range should be greater than the schedule period (amount of time for which the operations are scheduled). This guideline ensures that the same operation does not get scheduled more than once within the schedule period.

The following guidelines apply if the random scheduler option is enabled:

The individual operations being controlled by the same auto IP SLAs scheduler will be uniformly distributed to begin at random intervals over the schedule period.
The operations being controlled by the same auto IP SLAs scheduler restart at uniformly distributed random frequencies within the specified frequency range.
The minimum interval between the start of each operation being controlled by the same auto IP SLAs scheduler is 100 ms (0.1 sec).
Only one operation can be scheduled to begin at any given time. If the random scheduler option is disabled, multiple operations can begin at the same time.
The first operation will always begin at 0 ms of the schedule period.
The order in which each operation in a multioperation schedule begins is random.

Multioperation Scheduling

Note

A multioperation schedule is created by specifying the same auto IP SLA scheduler for two or more IP SLA auto-measure groups.

The following guidelines apply when you add or delete an operation from an existing multioperation schedule by modifying the configuration of an IP SLAs auto-measure group to add or remove the auto IP SLAs scheduler:

If two or more operations are added after the multioperation schedule has started, then the start times of the newly added operations will be uniformly distributed based on a time interval that was calculated prior to the addition of the new operations. If two or more operations are added before the multioperation schedule has started, then the time interval is recalculated based on both the existing and newly added operations.
If an operation is added to a multioperation schedule in which the random scheduler option is enabled, then the start time and frequency of the newly added operation will be randomly chosen within the specified parameters.
If an operation is added to a multioperation schedule in which the existing operations have aged out or the lifetimes of the existing operations have ended, the newly added operation will start and remain active for the amount of time specified by the multioperation schedule.
If an active operation is deleted, then the operation will stop collecting information and become inactive.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an auto IP SLAs scheduler that will cause an auto IP SLAs operation to actively collect data at 3:00 p.m. on April 5. The operation will age out after 12 hours of inactivity, which can be before it starts or after it has finished its life. When the operation ages out, all configuration information for the operation is removed from the running configuration in RAM.

Router(config)# ip sla auto schedule apr5
Router(config-am-schedule)# ageout 43200
Router(config-am-schedule)# frequency 70
Router(config-am-schedule)# life 43200
Router(config-am-schedule)# probe-interval 1500
Router(config-am-schedule)# start-time 15:00 apr 5
Router(config-am-schedule)# end

The following example shows how to schedule auto IP SLAs operations 3, 4, and 6 using multioperation scheduling. In this example, the operations are scheduled to begin at equal intervals over a schedule period of 200 milliseconds. The first operation (or set of operations) is scheduled to start immediately.

Router(config)# ip sla auto schedule multi

12.2(33)SXI	The Ethernet echo and Ethernet jitter configuration modes were added.
15.2(4)M	This command was modified. The multicast UDP jitter configuration mode was added.

Usage Guidelines

A single IP SLAs operation will repeat at a given frequency for the lifetime of the operation. For example, a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) jitter operation with a frequency of 60 sends a collection of data packets (simulated network traffic) once every 60 seconds, for the lifetime of the operation. The default simulated traffic for a UDP jitter operation consists of ten packets sent 20 milliseconds apart. This “payload” is sent when the operation is started, then is sent again 60 seconds later.

If an individual IP SLAs operation takes longer to execute than the specified frequency value, a statistics counter called “busy” is incremented rather than immediately repeating the operation.

Consider the following guidelines before configuring the frequency (IP SLA), timeout (IP SLA), and threshold (IP SLA) commands. For the IP SLAs UDP jitter operation, the following guidelines are recommended:

(frequencyseconds ) > ((timeoutmilliseconds ) + N)
(timeoutmilliseconds ) > (thresholdmilliseconds )

where N = (num-packetsnumber-of-packets ) * (intervalinterpacket-interval ). Use the udp-jitter command to configure the num-packetsnumber-of-packets and intervalinterpacket-interval values.

For all other IP SLAs operations, the following configuration guideline is recommended:

(frequencyseconds ) > (timeoutmilliseconds ) > (thresholdmilliseconds )

Note

We recommend that you do not set the frequency value to less than 60 seconds because the potential overhead from numerous active operations could significantly affect network performance.

The frequency (IP SLA) command is supported in IPv4 networks. This command is also supported in IPv6 networks when configuring an IP SLAs operation that supports IPv6 addresses.

IP SLAs Operation Configuration Dependence on Cisco IOS Release

The Cisco IOS command used to begin configuration for an IP SLAs operation varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table below). You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

The configuration mode for the frequency (IP SLA) command varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table below) and the operation type configured. For example, if you are running Cisco IOS Release 12.4 and the ICMP echo operation type is configured, you would enter the frequency (IP SLA) command in ICMP echo configuration mode (config-sla-monitor-echo) within IP SLA monitor configuration mode.

Table 10 Command Used to Begin Configuration of an IP SLAs Operation Based on Cisco IOS Release
Cisco IOS Release	Global Configuration Command	Command Mode Entered
12.4(4)T, 12.0(32)SY, 12.2(33)SRB, 12.2(33)SB, 12.2(33)SXI , or later releases	ip sla	IP SLA configuration
12.3(14)T, 12.4, 12.4(2)T, 12.2(31)SB2, or 12.2(33)SXH	ip sla monitor	IP SLA monitor configuration

Examples

The following examples show how to configure an IP SLAs ICMP echo operation (operation 10) to repeat every 90 seconds. Note that the Cisco IOS command used to begin configuration for an IP SLAs operation varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table above).

Usage Guidelines

Each time IP SLAs starts an operation, a new bucket is created until the number of history buckets matches the specified size or the lifetime of the operation expires. History buckets do not wrap.

To define the lifetime of an IP SLAs operation, use the ip sla schedule global configuration command. To define the lifetime of an auto IP SLAs operation template in Cisco IP SLAs Engine 3.0, use the lifecommand in IP SLAs auto-measure schedule configuration mode.

Before you can use this command to configure auto IP SLAs operation templates, you must enter the parameters command in IP SLA template configuration mode.

The history buckets-kept command is supported in IPv4 networks. This command is also supported in IPv6 networks to configure an IP SLAs operation that supports IPv6 addresses.

By default, the history for an IP SLAs operation is not collected. If history is collected, each bucket contains one or more history entries from the operation. When the operation type is Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) path echo, an entry is created for each hop along the path that the operation takes to reach its destination.

The type of entry stored in the history table is controlled by the history filter command.

The total number of entries stored in the history table is controlled by the combination of the samples-of-history-kept, history buckets-kept, and history lives-kept commands.

Note

Collecting history increases the RAM usage. Collect history only if you think there is a problem in the network.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an ICMP echo operation to keep 25 history buckets during the operation lifetime. The example shows the history buckets-kept command being used in an IPv4 network.

Examples

ip sla schedule 1 start-time now life forever
ip sla 1
 icmp-echo 172.16.161.21

Usage Guidelines

This command changes the value of distributions kept per hop for the IP SLAs operation from the default (1) to the specified value. When the number of distributions reaches the size specified, no further distribution-based information is stored in memory.

In most situations, you do not need to change the number of statistics distributions kept or the time interval for each distribution. Change these parameters only when distributions are required, for example, when performing statistical modeling of your network. To set the statistics distributions interval, use the history statistics-distribution-intervalcommand.

Before you can use this command to configure auto IP SLAs operation templates, you must enter the parameters command in IP SLA template configuration mode.

The history distributions-of-statistics-kept command is supported in IPv4 networks. This command is also supported in IPv6 networks to configure an IP SLAs operation that supports IPv6 addresses.

For the IP SLAs Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) path echo operation, the amount of router memory required to maintain the distribution statistics table is based on multiplying all of the values set by the following four commands:

history distributions-of-statistics-kept
hops-of-statistics-kept
paths-of-statistics-kept
history hours-of-statistics-kept

The general equation used to calculate the memory requirement to maintain the distribution statistics table for an ICMP path echo operation is as follows: Memory allocation = (160 bytes) * (history distributions-of-statistics-kept size) * (hops-of-statistics-kept size) * (paths-of-statistics-kept size) * (history hours-of-statistics-kept hours)

Note

To avoid significant impact on router memory, careful consideration should be used when configuring the history distributions-of-statistics-kept, hops-of-statistics-kept, paths-of-statistics-kept, and history hours-of-statistics-kept commands.

Examples

In the following examples, the statistics distribution is set to five and the distribution interval is set to 10 ms for an ICMP echo operation. Consequently, the first distribution will contain statistics from 0 to 9 ms, the second distribution will contain statistics from 10 to 19 ms, the third distribution will contain statistics from 20 to 29 ms, the fourth distribution will contain statistics from 30 to 39 ms, and the fifth distribution will contain statistics from 40 ms to infinity. The examples show the history distributions-of-statistics-kept command being used in an IPv4 network.

Examples

ip sla 1
 icmp-echo 172.16.161.21
 history distributions-of-statistics-kept 5
 history statistics-distribution-interval 10
!
ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now

Usage Guidelines

This command enables enhanced history for the IP SLAs operation.

Performance statistics are stored in buckets that separate the accumulated data. Each bucket consists of data accumulated over the specified time interval. When the interval expires, history statistics are gathered in a new bucket. When the specified number of buckets is reached, statistic gathering for the operation ends.

By default, IP SLAs maintains two hours of aggregated statistics for each operation. Values from each operation cycle are aggregated with the previously available data within a given hour. The Enhanced History feature in IP SLAs allows for the aggregation interval to be shorter than one hour.

The history enhanced command is supported in IPv4 networks. This command is also supported in IPv6 networks to configure an IP SLAs operation that supports IPv6 addresses.

Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T, you can configure this command for IP SLAs VoIP RTP operation but operations are unaffected.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T and later releases, you cannot configure this command for IP SLAs VoIP RTP operations. If you attempt to configure this command in VoIP RTP configuration mode, the following message appears.

Router(config-ip-sla-voip-rtp)# history enhanced interval 1200 buckets 99
%enhanced-history cannot be set for this probe

Before you can use this command to configure auto IP SLAs operation templates, you must enter the parameters command in IP SLA template configuration mode.

Examples

In the following examples, an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo operation is configured with the standard enhanced history settings. The example shows the history enhanced command being used in an IPv4 network.

Examples

ip sla 3
 icmp-echo 172.16.1.175

Usage Guidelines

Use the history filtercommand to control what gets stored in the history table for an IP SLAs operation. To control how much history gets saved in the history table, use the history lives-kept, history buckets-kept, and the samples-of-history-keptcommands.

The history filter command is supported in IPv4 networks. This command is also supported in IPv6 networks to configure an IP SLAs operation that supports IPv6 addresses.

For auto IP SLAs in Cisco IOS IP SLAs Engine 3.0--Before you can use this command to configure auto IP SLAs operation templates, you must enter the parameters command in IP SLA template configuration mode.

An IP SLAs operation can collect history and capture statistics. By default, the history for an IP SLAs operation is not collected. When a problem arises where history is useful (for example, a large number of timeouts are occurring), use the history lives-kept command to enable history collection.

Note

Collecting history increases the RAM usage. Collect history only when you think there is a problem in the network.

Examples

In the following example, only operation packets that fail are kept in the history table. The example shows the history filter command being used in an IPv4 network.

Examples

ip sla auto template type ip icmp-echo
 icmp-echo 172.16.161.21
  history lives-kept 1
  history filter failures

Usage Guidelines

This command changes the value of history hours in the IP SLAs operation from the default (2) to the specified value. When the number of hours exceeds the specified value, the statistics table wraps and the oldest information is replaced by newer information.

For the IP SLAs Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) path echo operation, the amount of router memory required to maintain the distribution statistics table is based on multiplying all of the values set by the following four commands:

history distributions-of-statistics-kept
hops-of-statistics-kept
paths-of-statistics-kept
history hours-of-statistics-kept

The general equation used to calculate the memory requirement to maintain the distribution statistics table for an ICMP path echo operation is as follows: Memory allocation = (160 bytes) * (history distributions-of-statistics-kept size) * (hops-of-statistics-kept size) * (paths-of-statistics-kept size) * (history hours-of-statistics-kept hours)

Note

To avoid significant impact on router memory, careful consideration should be used when configuring the history distributions-of-statistics-kept, hops-of-statistics-kept, paths-of-statistics-kept, and history hours-of-statistics-kept commands.

The history hours-of-statistics-kept command is supported in IPv4 networks. This command is also supported in IPv6 networks to configure an IP SLAs operation that supports IPv6 addresses.

For auto IP SLAs in Cisco IOS IP SLAs Engine 3.0, before you can use this command to configure auto IP SLAs operation templates, you must enter the parameters command in IP SLA template configuration mode.

Examples

The following examples show how to maintain 3 hours of statistics for an ICMP echo operation. The example shows the history hours-of-statistics-kept command being used in an IPv4 network.

Usage Guidelines

The following rules apply to the history lives-kept command:

The number of lives you can specify is dependent on the type of operation you are configuring.
The default value of 0 lives means that history is not collected for the operation.
When the number of lives exceeds the specified value, the history table wraps (that is, the oldest information is replaced by newer information).
When an operation makes a transition from a pending to active state, a life starts. When the life of an operation ends, the operation makes a transition from an active to pending state.

The history lives-kept command is supported in IPv4 networks. This command is also supported in IPv6 networks to configure an IP SLAs operation that supports IPv6 addresses.

Before you can use this command to configure auto IP SLAs operation templates, you must enter the parameters command in IP SLA template configuration mode.

To disable history collection, use the no history lives-kept command rather than the history filter none command. The no history lives-keptcommand disables history collection before an IP SLAs operation is attempted. The history filter command checks for history inclusion after the operation attempt is made.

Examples

The following example shows how to maintain the history for five lives of an ICMP echo operation. The example shows the history lives-kept command being used in an IPv4 network.

Examples

ip sla 1

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3SG	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3SG.

Usage Guidelines

This command changes the value of distribution interval for the IP SLAs operation from the default (20 ms) to the specified value.

In most situations, you do not need to change the number of statistics distributions kept or the time interval for each distribution. Change these parameters only when distributions are required, for example, when performing statistical modeling of your network. To set the number of statistics distributions kept, use the history statistics-distribution-intervalcommand.

The history statistics-distribution-interval command is supported in IPv4 networks. This command is also supported in IPv6 networks to configure an IP SLAs operation that supports IPv6 addresses.

Before you can use this command to configure auto IP SLAs operation templates, you must enter the parameters command in IP SLA template configuration mode.

Examples

In the following examples, the statistics distribution is set to five and the distribution interval is set to 10 ms for an IP SLAs operation. Consequently, the first distribution will contain statistics from 0 to 9 ms, the second distribution will contain statistics from 10 to 19 ms, the third distribution will contain statistics from 20 to 29 ms, the fourth distribution will contain statistics from 30 to 39 ms, and the fifth distribution will contain statistics from 40 ms to infinity.

The example shows the history statistics-distribution-interval command being used in an IPv4 network.

12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

When the number of hops reaches the size specified, no further hop-based information is stored.

Note

This command is supported by the IP SLAs Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) path echo operation only.

For the IP SLAs ICMP path echo operation, the amount of router memory required to maintain the distribution statistics table is based on multiplying all of the values set by the following four commands:

distributions-of-statistics-kept
hops-of-statistics-kept
paths-of-statistics-kept
hours-of-statistics-kept

The general equation used to calculate the memory requirement to maintain the distribution statistics table for an ICMP path echo operation is as follows: Memory allocation = (160 bytes) * (distributions-of-statistics-keptsize) * (hops-of-statistics-keptsize) * (paths-of-statistics-keptsize) * (hours-of-statistics-kepthours)

Note

To avoid significant impact on router memory, careful consideration should be used when configuring the distributions-of-statistics-kept, hops-of-statistics-kept, paths-of-statistics-kept, and hours-of-statistics-kept commands.

IP SLAs Operation Configuration Dependence on Cisco IOS Release

The Cisco IOS command used to begin configuration for an IP SLAs operation varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table below). You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

The configuration mode for the hops-of-statistics-kept command varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table below ) and the operation type configured. For example, if you are running Cisco IOS Release 12.4 and the ICMP path echo operation type is configured, you would enter the hops-of-statistics-kept command in ICMP path echo configuration mode (config-sla-monitor-pathEcho) within IP SLA monitor configuration mode.

Table 11 Command Used to Begin Configuration of an IP SLAs Operation Based on Cisco IOS Release
Cisco IOS Release	Global Configuration Command	Command Mode Entered

When the number of hours exceeds the specified value, the statistics table wraps (that is, the oldest information is replaced by newer information).

For the IP SLAs Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) path echo operation, the amount of router memory required to maintain the distribution statistics table is based on multiplying all of the values set by the following four commands:

distributions-of-statistics-kept
hops-of-statistics-kept
paths-of-statistics-kept

The general equation used to calculate the memory requirement to maintain the distribution statistics table for an ICMP path echo operation is as follows: Memory allocation = (160 bytes) * (distributions-of-statistics-kept size) * (hops-of-statistics-kept size) * (paths-of-statistics-kept size) * (hours-of-statistics-kept hours)

Note

To avoid significant impact on router memory, careful consideration should be used when configuring the distributions-of-statistics-kept, hops-of-statistics-kept, paths-of-statistics-kept, and hours-of-statistics-kept commands.

Note

You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

Examples

The following example shows how to maintain 3 hours of statistics for IP SLAs ICMP path echo operation 2.

ip sla monitor 2
 type pathecho protocol ipIcmpEcho 172.16.1.177
 hours-of-statistics-kept 3

Release	Modification
12.2(31)SB2	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRB	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB.

Usage Guidelines

The LSP discovery group statistics are distributed in one-hour increments. Since the number of LSP discovery groups for a single LSP Health Monitor operation can be significantly large, the collection of group statistics is restricted to a maximum of 2 hours. If the number argument is set to zero, no LSP discovery group statistics are maintained.

Use the path-discover command to enable the LSP discovery option for an IP SLAs LSP Health Monitor operation and enter auto IP SLA MPLS LSP discovery parameters configuration mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure operation parameters, proactive threshold monitoring, and scheduling options using the LSP Health Monitor. In this example, the LSP discovery option is enabled for LSP Health Monitor operation 1. Operation 1 is configured to automatically create IP SLAs LSP ping operations for the equal-cost multipaths to all Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) next hop neighbors in use by all VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instances associated with the source Provider Edge (PE) router. LSP discovery group statistics are collected every 1 hour.

Usage Guidelines

You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation, such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo, before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation. To change the operation type of an existing IP SLAs operation, you must first delete the IP SLAs operation (using the no ip slaglobal configuration command) and then reconfigure the operation with the new operation type.

Examples

In the following example, IP SLAs HTTP operation 6 is configured as an HTTP RAW operation. The destination URL of the HTTP server is http://www.cisco.com.

ip sla 6
 http raw http://www.cisco.com
 http-raw-request
 GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n
 \r\n
!
ip sla schedule 6 start-time now

In the following example, IP SLAs HTTP operation 7 is configured as an HTTP GET operation. The destination URL of the HTTP server is 2001:10:10:10::3.

ip sla 7
 http get http://2001:10:10:10::3
 http-get-request
 GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n
 \r\n
!
ip sla schedule 7 start-time now

Command History

Release	Modification
12.0(5)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

Use the http-raw-request command to explicitly specify the content of an HTTP request. Use HTTP version 1.0 commands after entering the http-raw-request command.

IP SLAs will specify the content of an HTTP request if you use the typehttpoperationget command. IP SLAs will send the HTTP request, receive the reply, and report round-trip time (RTT) statistics (including the size of the page returned).

IP SLAs Operation Configuration Dependence on Cisco IOS Release

The Cisco IOS command used to begin configuration for an IP SLAs operation varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table below). You must configure the type of IP SLAs operation (such as User Datagram Protocol [UDP] jitter or Internet Control Message Protocol [ICMP] echo) before you can configure any of the other parameters of the operation.

The configuration mode for the http-raw-request command varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table below) and the operation type configured. For example, if you are running Cisco IOS Release 12.4 and the HTTP operation type is configured, you would enter the http-raw-request command in HTTP configuration mode (config-sla-monitor-http) within IP SLA monitor configuration mode.

Table 12 Command Used to Begin Configuration of an IP SLAs Operation Based on Cisco IOS Release
Cisco IOS Release	Global Configuration Command	Command Mode Entered
12.4(4)T, 12.0(32)SY, 12.2(33)SRB, 12.2(33)SB, 12.2(33)SXI , or later releases	ip sla	IP SLA configuration
12.3(14)T, 12.4, 12.4(2)T, 12.2(31)SB2, or 12.2(33)SXH	ip sla monitor	IP SLA monitor configuration

Examples

In the following examples, IP SLAs operation 6 is created and configured as an HTTP operation. The HTTP GET command is explicitly specified. Note that the Cisco IOS command used to begin configuration for an IP SLAs operation varies depending on the Cisco IOS release you are running (see the table above).

Examples

ip sla 6
 http raw http://www.cisco.com
 http-raw-request
 GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n
 \r\n
!
ip sla schedule 6 start-time now

Examples

ip sla monitor 6
 type http operation raw url http://www.cisco.com
 http-raw-request
 GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n
 \r\n
!
ip sla monitor schedule 6 start-time now
