IP SLA Monitor

[jrmalmeida]

Hi all!

We are using IP SLA to monitor the WAN IP from a client:

ip sla monitor 1

type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 192.168.251.206 source-interface GigabitEthernet0/1

request-data-size 10

timeout 2000

threshold 4000

frequency 5

ip sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now

track 104 rtr 1 reachability

delay down 8 up 30

When the link is down, traffic is switched to another link. The problem is that when we are doing maintenance with the problem link, any  oscillation (up/down) causes the link to be switched back to the link with problem. The only solution we found for this case is to give a shutdown on the interface that is being repaired.

Does anyone know what I can do to prevent traffic is switched to the link that is being repaired?

Appreciate any help

1. By increase the Preempt delay value of Faulty link to to prevent traffic is switched to the link that is being repaired.

e.g standby 1 preempt delay minimum XX (upto 3600 Sec).

Hi Sachin!

I think it would be interesting to increase the monitoring time, if the main link becomes down. You know  I can  how do this without using load balancing (HSRP, VRRP, GLBP ...)? Because we are monitoring the wan interface of the client, ie, on the other end of the cloud.

Thanks.
