ip service-level agreement configuration on router

[sarahr202]

Hi everybody

please consider the following configuration.

R1(config)# ip sla 11

R1(config-ip-sla)# icmp-echo 10.1.3.99 source-ip 10.1.1.9

R1(config-ip-sla)# frequency 60

R1(config-ip-sla) ip sla schedule 11 start-time now life forever.

I understand  R1 will send  icmp echo packets every 60 seconds but question is how many?

Let me further explain.  Let say 60 seconds are up, and now R1 has to send ICMP echo packets, How many icmap echo packets will R1 send?

Thanks and have a great day.

Hi,

it will send 1 echo-request every 60 seconds

hi sarah,

As alain has mentioned it will send 1 echo-request. It should be enuff to know that the destination you are trying to reach is reachable. you can check how many icmp's are sent by typing the command " sh ip sla monitor statistics"

you will see that it will show you succesful tries and failures as well.
