IP SLA Questions
Quick IP SLA Overview: IP SLA is an active method of monitoring and reliably reporting on network performance. The word “active” here means it generates and monitors traffic continuously across the network actively. With IP SLAs, routers and switches perform periodic measurements. Using IP SLAs can provide these benefits: IP SLAs collects a unique subset of these performance metrics: + Delay (both round-trip and one-way) |
Question 1
Question 2
Explanation
The ICMP Echo operation measures end-to-end response time between a Cisco router and any devices using IP. Response time is computed by measuring the time taken between sending an ICMP Echo request message to the destination and receiving an ICMP Echo reply. Many customers use IP SLAs ICMP-based operations, in-house ping testing, or ping-based dedicated probes for response time measurements.
Question 3
Explanation
The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo operation measures the end-to-end response time between two devices that use IPv4. The response time is computed by measuring the time taken between sending an ICMP Echo request message to the destination and receiving an ICMP Echo reply.
An IP SLA can be used to performs network performance monitoring, including measure the latency, packet loss, jitter and response time in the network. The example below shows how to configure an IP SLA ICMP Echo (send an ICMP request to 192.168.1.254 every 300 second with a timeout of 500ms):
Device(config-ip-sla-echo)#timeout 500
Device(config)#ip sla schedule 1 start-time now
Question 4
Explanation
The ICMP Echo operation measures end-to-end response time between a Cisco router and any devices using IP. Response time is computed by measuring the time taken between sending an ICMP Echo request message to the destination and receiving an ICMP Echo reply. Many customers use IP SLAs ICMP-based operations, in-house ping testing, or ping-based dedicated probes for response time measurements.
Question 5
Question 6
Question 7
Explanation
To measure end-to-end response time we have to use ICMP echo to continuously ping to a remote device. The difference between ICMP path echo and ICMP echo is the former can measure hop-by-hop response time on its whole path while the latter can only measure to a specific destination.
Question 8
Explanation
Verifying IP SLAs Operations
Perform this task to display and interpret the results of an IP SLAs operation. Check the output for fields that correspond to the criteria in your service level agreement to determine whether the service metrics are acceptable.

Hi everyone what about this website has helped you pass the ccna? taking my exam next and i just want to know if this website has you guys pass. what should i expect? should i review the questions and answers or understand the process of how everything works?? Thanks and have great day everyone!
