Command History
Usage Guidelines The ip sla command is used to begin configuration for an IP SLAs operation. Use this command to
specify an identification number for the operation you are about to configure. After you enter this
command, the router will enter IP SLA configuration mode.
The ip sla command is supported in IPv4 networks. This command can also be used when configuring
an IP SLAs operation that supports IPv6 addresses.
IP SLAs allows a maximum of 2000 operations.
Debugging is supported only on the first 32 operation numbers.
After you configure an operation, you must schedule the operation. For information on scheduling an
operation, refer to the ip sla schedule and ip sla group schedule global configuration commands. You
can also optionally set reaction triggers for the operation. For information on reaction triggers, refer to
the ip sla reaction-configuration and ip sla reaction-trigger global configuration commands.
To change the operation type of an existing IP SLAs operation, you must first delete the IP SLAs
operation (using the no ip sla) and then reconfigure the operation with the new operation type.
Note After you schedule an operation, you cannot modify the configuration of the operation. To modify the
configuration of the operation after it is scheduled, you must first unschedule the IP SLAs operation
(using the no ip sla command) and then reconfigure the operation with the new operation parameters.
To display the current configuration settings of the operation, use the show ip sla configuration
command in user EXEC or privileged EXEC mode.
operation-number Operation number used for the identification of the IP SLAs operation you want to
configure.
