IP SLAs Object Tracking

IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLAs) is a network performance measurement and diagnostics tool that actively monitors network health by generating traffic to assess performance metrics in real time. These metrics are valuable for network troubleshooting, design, and analysis.

By enabling object tracking for IP SLAs operations, clients can monitor the results of specific IP SLAs tests and use this information to automatically trigger actions based on network conditions. Each IP SLAs operation generates an SNMP return-code value, such as OK or OverThreshold, which the tracking process interprets to determine network status.

Tracking can focus on either the state or reachability of the IP SLAs operation.

  • For state

    A return code of OK indicates the tracked object is up, while any other return code means it is down

  • For reachability

    The tracked object is considered up if the return code is OK or OverThreshold, and down if the return code is not OK.

Configure IP SLAs Object Tracking

Perform this task to configure IP SLAs object tracking.

Procedure

Step 1

enable

Example:

Device> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

Enter your password, if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Device# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

track object-number ip sla operation-number {state | reachability}

Example:

Device(config)# track 2 ip sla 123 state

Enters tracking configuration mode to track the state of an IP SLAs operation.

  • object-number : The range is from 1 to 500.

  • operation-number : The range is from 1 to 2147483647

Step 4

delay {up seconds [down seconds] | [up seconds] down seconds}

Example:

Device(config-track)# delay up 20

(Optional) Specifies a period of time in seconds to delay communicating state changes of a tracked object.

The range is from 1 to 180 seconds.

Step 5

end

Example:

Device(config-track)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

show track object-number

Example:

Device# show track 2

Verifies that the specified objects are being tracked.

Step 7

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

Device# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
