Configuring the IP SLAs Responder
The IP SLAs responder is available only on Cisco IOS software-based devices, including some Layer 2
switches that do not support full IP SLAs functionality, such as the Catalyst 2960 or the Cisco ME 2400
switch or a Cisco ME 3400 switch running the metro base image. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode,
follow these steps to configure the IP SLAs responder on the target device (the operational target):
To disable the IP SLAs responder, enter the no ip sla responder global configuration command. This
example shows how to configure the device as a responder for the UDP jitter IP SLAs operation in the
next procedure:
Switch(config)#
ip sla responder udp-echo 172.29.139.134 5000
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ip sla responder {tcp-connect |
udp-echo} ipaddress ip-address port
port-number
Configure the switch as an IP SLAs responder.
The keywords have these meanings:
•
tcp-connect—Enable the responder for TCP connect operations.
•
udp-echo—Enable the responder for User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
echo or jitter operations.
•
ipaddress ip-address—Enter the destination IP address.
•
port port-number—Enter the destination port number.
Note
The IP address and port number must match those configured on
the source device for the IP SLAs operation.
Step 3
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show ip sla responder
Verify the IP SLAs responder configuration on the device.
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
