Cisco ASA + IP SLA

[RS19]

I have the below configuration in my ASA firewall

-------------------------------------------------------

sla monitor 1
type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho x.x.x.x interface outside
num-packets 3
timeout 1000
frequency 9

-------------------------------------------------------------
I want to change the timeout value from 1000 -> 4000 , let me know is the below steps is right or should I remove the complete commands. I don't have the UAT to test it.

sla monitor 1
type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho x.x.x.x interface outside
timeout 4000

If the sla monitor operation is already scheduled then you must first remove it and then recreate with the new parameters. So first:

clear configure sla monitor

...and then:

sla monitor 1
type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho x.x.x.x interface outside
num-packets 3
timeout 4000
frequency 9

...along with recreating the scheduling command such as:

sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now

Thanks. 

Could you please explain me what the below command exactly does ?

clear configure sla monitor

[RS19]

Sorry I am not able to find the explanation of the below command 

clear configure sla monitor

[RS19]

Is the below steps is right ?

Current Configuration:

sla monitor 1
 type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho x.x.x.x interface outside
 num-packets 3
 timeout 1000
 frequency 9

sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now

------------------------------------------------------------

Steps:

no sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now

no sla monitor 1

sla monitor 1
 type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho x.x.x.x interface outside
 num-packets 3
 timeout 4000
 frequency 9

sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now

That would work.

The earlier "clear..." command I provided clears both command 1 and 2 and the same time
