IP SLA over a 1.5Mbps WAN

[jc84_]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a few suggestions regarding the configuration used in an IP SLA to run from a remote site to our main office.  The remote site will have a 1.5Mbps (T1) WAN connection.

From my experience I've always used 'udp-jitter' or 'jitter' (depending on IOS) specifying a specific source IP address and a codec.

My question is...in order to have the information generated by the SLA meaingful, but not flood the link...what is a proper setting for the following:

- frequency

- codec

- codec-numpackets

- request-data-size

Looking to hear what everyone else has currently deployed

Anyone have any advice?

You should try the following:

ip sla monitor 100

type jitter dest-ipaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dest-port 16384 codec g711alaw

advantage-factor 2

owner your_name_if_you_like

exit

ip sla monitor schedule 10 start-time now

exit

show running-config | begin ip sla monitor 100

HTH,

As optional cmds you can enter:

hours-of-statistics-kept, a good value is 2,4,6,8, and so on.

threshold 10000, if you are going to use ToS add the TOS value as well.
