IP SLA operations on ASR 9K - what service package is required?

[daveygeorge]

I am trying to set up an IP SLA and track on an ASR9001 so that it can ping a remote device, and have static routes that are only active when the track is up, however the "ipsla operation" command is not available. I suspect I may have to install a service package to enable this, but cannot see any way of finding out what functionality each service package gives you, so do not know which one to install.

The config I am trying to apply (which works on another router) is something along the lines of:

router static
 vrf TEST
  address-family ipv4 unicast
   10.0.0.0/24 192.168.255.254 track 200
  !
 !
!
ipsla
 operation 200
  type icmp echo
   vrf TEST
   destination address 192.168.255.254
  !
 !
 schedule operation 200
  start-time now
  life forever
 !
!
track 200
 type rtr 200 reachability
!
end

but, as I said, this is not available when trying to set up the IP SLA operation:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)#ipsla?
                                     ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

The router is an ASR 9001 running 6.1.4. The packages installed are as follows:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(admin)#show install active
Tue Mar 30 15:39:53.320 UTC
Secure Domain Router: Owner

  Node 0/RSP0/CPU0 [RP] [SDR: Owner]

Any help would be appreciated!

You need mgbl.

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ASR9K#describe show ipsla statistics
The command is defined in show_ipsla.parser
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ASR9K#show install which show_ipsla.parser
asr9k-mgbl-x64-2.0.0.2-r713.CSCvw32825.x86_64

Many thanks for the respone! While the 'describe' and 'show install which' commands do not work for me (I assume because the package is not installed yet), they are useful to know for future purposes! I will install the mgbl package later this week.
