HI all.
I want to use IP SLA source-interface as Loopback 0
R1's config
ip sla 1
icmp-echo 2.2.2.2 source-interface loopback 0
!
ip sla schedule 1 life forever start now
!
track 1 ip sla 1 reachability
!
ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2 track 1
I set it up like this
2.2.2.2 is not visible in the routing table
The link is not connected at the time of sh ip sla sum.
Is there anything wrong with me?

in R2
ip route 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 192.168.2.x <<- this for return back traffic
Note:-
in router w/o NAT and w/0 default route
do command show ip route
you must see ALL ALL route in your network

Of course, return routing exists in R2.
But I didn't apply SLA to R2 and I'm testing it.
Only static routing is applied.
Ping R1 at R2 is normal, but there is no routing of R2 due to SLA operation in R1.
Can't source-interface be applied as Loopback 0?
Thank you in advance.

share config of both, and Yes you can use LO as source.
ā08-02-2022 01:57 AM
R1
ip sla 1
icmp-echo 2.2.2.2 source-interface loopback 0
!
ip sla schedule 1 life forever start now
!
track 1 ip sla 1 reachability
!
ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2 track 1
R2
ip route 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1
thats all
is there something wrong?
ā08-02-2022 02:06 AM
Yes but where is
interface Loopback 0
ip add 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 OR ip add 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 ??
ā08-02-2022 02:08 AM
Yes both routers IP
R1 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
R2 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255
ā08-02-2022 02:16 AM - edited ā08-02-2022 02:22 AM
share all config
share show ip interface brief
you need to enter the Loopback interface with
in R1
interface Loopback 0
ip add 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
in R2
interface loopback 0
ip add 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255

can you test in your lab?
ā08-02-2022 02:53 AM
Your config is correct, but unfortunately IP SLA not work when source-interface or source-ip is LOOPBACK.
I check this point.
and I do lab also there is no ICMP packet from R1 toward R2.
sorry you need to change the source.
ā08-02-2022 06:14 AM
Since there is no any mention in Cisco about this point I do small lab but with new idea,
and it work using IP SLA with LO is work only if the track is not use for static route of IP SLA destination.
THIS WORKAOUND I NOT RECOMMEND.

Try to specify the frequency in SLA config.
