Layer 3 Routing Commands 1664
The recommended guidelines for configuring the frequency, timeout and
threshold commands of the IP SLAs ICMP Echo operation are:
(frequency seconds) > (timeout milliseconds) > (threshold milliseconds)
This command is supported in IPv4 networks and also for IPv6 networks
where IPv6 addresses are supported.
Command History
Command introduced in version 6.6 firmware.
Example
In the following example, the timeout value for an IP SLA’s operation 11 is
set for 2500 ms:
console(config)#ip sla 11
console(config-ip-sla)#icmp-echo 152.17.10.145
console(config-ip-sla-echo)#timeout 2500
threshold
Use the threshold command to set the upper threshold value for calculating
network monitoring statistics created by an IP SLA operation. To reset to the
default value, use the no form of the command.
Syntax
