Hi,

the syntax has changed several times over the years.

If

• ip sla <entry>
• ip sla monitor <entry>

are not supported, you can try the earlier

• rtr <entry> ! (Response Time Reporter)

command.

Hello

The IP SLA feature is supported on this platform and IOS version, it's just configured using an older syntax. For example:

ip sla monitor 1
 type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 192.168.1.1
 frequency 10
ip sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now

show ip sla monitor statistics 1

For command reference see: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_4/ip_sla/configuration/guide/hsla_c/hsicmp.html

Best regards,
Martin
