Packet Size - Cisco ASR 9000 Series Command Reference Manual

Ethernet OAM Commands on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router

packet size

To configure the minimum size (in bytes) for outgoing probe packets, including padding when necessary, use
the packet size command in SLA profile probe configuration mode. To remove this configuration, use the
no form of this command.
packet size bytes [test pattern {hex 0x HHHHHHHH| pseudo-random}]
no packet size bytes [test pattern {hex 0x HHHHHHHH| pseudo-random}]
Syntax Description
bytes
test pattern hex 0x
HHHHHHHH
test pattern
pseudo-random
Command Default
The minimum packet size is not configured. When a minimum packet size is configured and padding is
required, the default padding is all 0s.
Command Modes

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task
IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator
for assistance.
For supported packet types, this configuration determines the minimum size of all outgoing SLA probe packets,
including the size to which they are padded. The amount of padding that is added to a packet depends on the
type of frame that is sent and the amount of data in the frame.
(Optional) Minimum size of the packet including padding when necessary. The
range is 1 to 9000 bytes. This value refers to the total frame size including the
Layer 2 or Layer 3 packet header. Optional TLVs, such as the End TLV, are
only included when the requested packet size allows.
(Optional) Specifies a 4-byte string (8 hexadecimal characters) to repeat as many
times as required to fill the outgoing probe packet to the specified minimum
packet size. The default is all 0s.
(Optional) Specifies a pseudo-random bit sequence determined by the protocol
to fill the outgoing probe packet to the specified minimum packet size.
