IP Service Level Agreements Commands
IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) is a diagnostic method which generates and analyses the traffic between an OcNOS device and your network. IP SLA monitors and reports network performance data which helps you to identify the actual root cause of a problem when the performance level drops.
This chapter describes the commands used to manage the IP SLA for ICMP echo.
• ip sla
clear ip sla statistics
Use this command to clear the IP SLA statistics.
Command Syntax
clear ip sla statistics <1-65535>
Parameters
1-65535
IP SLA identifier
Default
N/A
Command Mode
Exec mode and Privileged Exec mode
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 5.0.
Examples
#clear ip sla statistics 1
frequency
Use this command to configure the frequency/interval to send ICMP echo packets one by one.
Use the no form of this command to remove the configured ICMP echo frequency.
Command Syntax
frequency <1-60>
no frequency
Parameters
1-60
Frequency in seconds
Default
5 seconds
Command Mode
IP SLA ICMP Echo mode (config-ip-sla-echo)
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 5.0.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#ip sla 1

(config-ip-sla-echo)#frequency 3
icmp-echo
Use this command to select and configure the ICMP echo SLA operation. ICMP echo packets are constructed in the device and sent to the destination address that you specify. These packets are transferred on a specific interface by setting the source-interface parameter.
Use the no form of this command to un-configure or remove the configured ICMP echo measurement sessions.
Command Syntax
icmp-echo (ipv4 A.B.C.D|ipv6 X:X::X:X|HOSTNAME) (source-interface IFNAME|)
no icmp-echo (ipv4 A.B.C.D | ipv6 X:X::X:X | HOSTNAME)
Parameters
A.B.C.D
IPv4 address
X:X::X:X
IPv6 address
HOSTNAME
Host name
IFNAME
Source interface name
Default
N/A
Command Mode
IP SLA mode (config-ip-sla)
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 5.0.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#ip sla 1
(config-ip-sla)#icmp-echo ipv4 10.12.28.1 source-interface xe1
(config-ip-sla-echo)#
ip sla
Use this command to create an IP SLA instance. One instance maps to a single SLA operation. You can create multiple SLA operations to perform multiple similar or different SLA operations.
Use the no form of this command to remove a configured IP SLA configurations.
Command Syntax
ip sla <1-65535>
no ip sla <1-65535>
Parameters
1-65535
IP SLA identifier
Default
N/A
Command Mode
Configuration mode
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 5.0.
Example
#configure terminal
(config)#ip sla 1
(config-ip-sla)#
ip sla schedule
Use this command to schedule an IP SLA operation by associating a time-range object with the IP SLA operation.
Use the no form of this command to stop the configured IP SLA measurement.
Command Syntax
ip sla schedule <1-65535> time-range WORD (vrf (NAME)|)
Parameters
<1-65535>
IP SLA identifier.
time-range
Time Range
TR_NAME
Time range name that you set with the time-range command.
vrf
VPN Routing/Forwarding instance
NAME
VPN Routing/Forwarding instance name. Maximum limit 32 characters
Default
N/A
Command Mode
Configuration mode
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 5.0.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#ip sla schedule 1 time-range t1 vrf v1
show ip sla statistics
Use this command to display the statistics of IP SLA measurement.
Command Syntax
show ip sla statistics (1-65535) detail
Parameters
1-65535
IP SLA identifier.
Default
N/A
Command Mode
Exec mode and Privileged Exec mode
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 5.0.
Examples
#show ip sla statistics 1 detail
