2960X ip sla features

[ingo.batz]

Hello everyone,

I recently replaced a couple of 2960G switches by 2960X (primarily WS-C2960X-48FPD-L). When trying to configure some ip sla operations, I noticed that the neccessary commands aren't available:

SW-048-015(config)#ip sla ?
  key-chain  Use MD5 Authentication for IP SLAs Control Messages
  responder  Enable IP SLAs Responder

What i'm used to from 2960G and 2960S models is:

SW-048-012(config)#ip sla ?
  <1-2147483647>          Entry Number
  enable                  Enable Event Notifications
  group                   Group Configuration or Group Scheduling
  key-chain               Use MD5 Authentication for IP SLAs Control Messages
  logging                 Enable Syslog
  low-memory              Configure Low Water Memory Mark
  reaction-configuration  IP SLAs Reaction-Configuration
  reaction-trigger        IP SLAs Trigger Assignment
  reset                   IP SLAs Reset
  responder               Enable IP SLAs Responder
  restart                 Restart An Active Entry
  schedule                Entry Scheduling

So does anyone have an idea, why I cannot configure ip sla operations anymore?

Additional details that might be of relevance:

SW-048-015#sh lice
Index 1 Feature: lanlite
        Period left: 0  minute  0  second
Index 2 Feature: lanbase
        Period left: Life time
        License Type: Permanent
        License State: Active, In Use
        License Priority: Medium
        License Count: Non-Counted

So I do have a LAN Base license which should theretically support ip sla (as stated in feature navigator). I have tried several IOS images without success. Currently, I'm running c2960x-universalk9-mz.150-2.EX5.bin.

Thanks in advance for any hints...

Hey,

I checked and found that 2960X with LAN BASE supports IP SLA responder operations only.

HTH.

Thanks for your reply,

well this info kind of 'helps'. Nonetheless I wonder why the feature navigator claims that several ip sla operations are supported. So I wonder where you checked?

Just for fun I just upgraded a 2960S (WS-C2960S-24PD-L) from 15.0-1.SE3 to 15.2-2.E and...

surprise: the ip sla features are gone as well. So this is obviously not an issue specific to 2960X models.

[Rajeev Sharma]

Indeed with the IOS train.

Any idea whether there are plans to add these features again in later releases?

As per my knowledge this feature is now supported on Cat3k devices.
