Configuring IP SLAs Operations
One-way mean opinion score (MOS)
One-way latency
An IP SLAs threshold violation can also trigger another IP SLAs operation for further analysis. For
example, the frequency could be increased or an ICMP path echo or ICMP path jitter operation could be
initiated for troubleshooting.
Determining the type of threshold and the level to set can be complex, and depends on the type of IP
service being used in the network. For more details on using thresholds with Cisco IOS IP SLAs
operations, see the “IP SLAs—Proactive Threshold Monitoring” chapter of the Cisco IOS IP SLAs
Configuration Guide at this URL:

Configuring IP SLAs Operations
Note This section does not include configuration information for all available operations as the configuration
information details are included in the Cisco IOS IP SLAs Configuration Guide. It does include several
operations as examples, including configuring the responder, configuring UDP jitter operation, which
requires a responder, and configuring ICMP echo operation, which does not require a responder. A
switch running the IP base image supports only IP SLAs responder functionality. The switch must be
running the IP services image for full IP SLAs functionality.
For details about configuring other operations, see he Cisco IOS IP SLAs Configuration Guide at this
