Layer 3 Routing Commands 1663
Example
The following example shows how to configure an IP SLAs ICMP echo
operation (operation 11) to repeat every 80 seconds. This example shows the
frequency (IP SLA) command being used in an IPv4 network in ICMP echo
configuration mode within IP SLA configuration mode.
console(config)#ip sla 11
console(config-ip-sla)#icmp-echo 152.15.10.145
console(config-ip-sla-echo)#frequency 80
timeout
Use the timeout command to configure the amount of time an IP Service
Level Agreement’s (SLA’s) operation waits for a response from its request
packet. To return to the default value, use the no form of the command.
Syntax
timeout milliseconds
no timeout
• milliseconds —The length of time the operation waits to receive a
response from its request packet, in milliseconds (ms). The range is 50 to
300000.
Default Configuration
The default is 5000 milliseconds.
Command Mode
IP SLA ICMP Echo Configuration mode (config-ip-sla-echo).
User Guidelines
Use the timeout (IP SLA) command to set how long the operation waits to
receive a response from its request packet, and use the frequency (IP SLA)
command to set the rate at which the IP SLA’s operation restarts. The value
specified for the timeout (IP SLA) command cannot be greater than the
value specified for the frequency (IP SLA) command.
