Our company recently purchased SolarWinds Orion as part of a large project which also heavily relies on Cisco IP SLA.  Unfortunately one of the problems that we have run into is getting Cisco IP SLA configured and working properly.  The documentation that Cisco has available on this has not really been that helpful.

Here is what we have so far…

IP SLA configuration on two Cisco devices both running IOS 12.4(21). UDP jitter configured within an IP SLA monitor statement. RTT is the only value being generated.  One-way latency and jitter both show 0 samples.  Both devices are synced to the same Stratum-2 NTP server.

ip sla monitor 4
type jitter dest-ipaddr W.X.Y.Z dest-port 5556 num-packets 20 interval 10
request-data-size 1200
verify-data


If somebody could help point us in the right direction it would be much appreciated.  Also, if anybody has an example of a working Cisco IP SLA configuration they would be willing to share we would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I was able to dig up some more information on this and we now have some working configurations in place.  The parts of IP SLA that are available seem to vary slightly between different Cisco IOS versions.

If I get a chance I may give the free tool a try to see what configuration it uses as well, thanks to SolarWinds for making that available!

Always glad to help!

You might look at the IP SLA forum for more ideas, too!
