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
URL:

IP SLA Default Configuration

By default, no IP SLAs operations are configured.

IP SLA Configuration Guidelines

For detailed descriptions and configuration procedures, see the Cisco IOS IP SLAs Configuration Guide,
Release 12.4T at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipsla/configuration/guide/12_4t/sla_12_4t_book.html
Not all of the IP SLAs commands or operations described in this guide are supported on the switch. The
switch supports IP service level analysis by using UDP jitter, UDP echo, HTTP, TCP connect, ICMP
echo, ICMP path echo, ICMP path jitter, FTP, DNS, and DHCP, as well as multiple operation scheduling
and proactive threshold monitoring. It does not support VoIP service levels using the gatekeeper
registration delay operations measurements.
Before configuring any IP SLAs application, you can use the show ip sla application privileged EXEC
command to verify that the operation type is supported on your software image. it is an example of the
output from the command:
Switch# show ip sla application
