Ip Sla - Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Command Reference Manual

ip sla

ip sla
To begin configuring a Cisco NX-OS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) operation and enter IP SLA
configuration mode, use the ip sla command. To remove all configuration information for an operation,
including the schedule of the operation, reaction configuration, and reaction triggers, use the no form of
this command.
Syntax Description operation-number
Command Default
No IP SLAs operation is configured.
Command Modes
Global configuration mode (config)
Command History Release
6.1(1)
Usage Guidelines
Use the ip sla command to specify an identification number for the operation you are about to configure.
After you enter this command, the router enters IP SLA configuration mode.
The ip sla command is supported in IPv4 networks.
IP SLAs allow a maximum of 2000 operations.
Debugging is supported only on the first 32 operation numbers.
After you configure an operation, you must schedule the operation. For information on scheduling an
operation, see the ip sla schedule and ip sla group schedule global configuration commands.
After you schedule an operation, you cannot modify the configuration 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 sla command) and then reconfigure the operation with the new operation type.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to configure operation 99 as a UDP jitter operation in an IPv4 network and
schedule it to start running in 5 hours. The example shows the ip sla command being used in an IPv4
network.
