Prerequisites for Configuring Cisco IOS IP SLAs Operations
• Before configuring any IP SLAs application, we recommend that you verify the operation type
supported on your software image by using the show ip sla application privileged EXEC command.
Restrictions for Configuring Cisco IOS IP SLAs Operations
• The IP SLAs responder can be a Cisco IOS Layer 2, responder-configurable switch, such as a
Catalyst
2960 or IE 2000 switch running the LAN Base image, or a Catalyst 3560 or 3750 switch
running the IP base image. The responder does not need to support full IP SLAs functionality.
• The switch does not support Voice over IP (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.
Information About Configuring Cisco IOS IP SLAs Operations
This chapter describes how to use Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) on the switch. Cisco
IP SLAs is a part of Cisco IOS software that allows Cisco customers to analyze IP service levels for IP
applications and services by using active traffic monitoring—the generation of traffic in a continuous,
reliable, and predictable manner—for measuring network performance. With Cisco IOS IP SLAs,
service provider customers can measure and provide service level agreements, and enterprise customers
can verify service levels, verify outsourced service level agreements, and understand network
performance. Cisco IOS IP SLAs can perform network assessments, verify quality of service (QoS), ease
the deployment of new services, and assist with network troubleshooting.
