ip sla reaction-configuration question

mmedwid · ‎03-05-2009

My goal is to have "track 111" go from up to down in the event of three successive ping losses. I wish the configuration guide had some more simple examples. Anyhow - when I run "show ip sla reaction-trig 1" IOS responds "Reaction trigger not configured" I don't understand why not. And I'm not clear if my end-goal of track going down on 3 losses is met. Any ip sla masters on here??

Hi

Change your react from rtt to timeout

I have simplfied the config a bit from yours so don't copy it (my timers are very low), but mine works

ip sla monitor 1

type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 192.168.1.2

timeout 1

frequency 3

ip sla monitor reaction-configuration 1 react timeout

ip sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now

Thank-you. So in your example it appears that an ICMP timeout is defined as 1 second with no reply and then monitor operation runs with a frequency of every 3 seconds. And your reaction config is saying if there are 5 timeouts then then fail. Correct?

Hi

It's 1 ms with no reply.

I think your issue is down to the fact that you where using round trip times rather than timeout (react rtt).

I am allowing 5 timeouts before alerting ( the default), you can amend this with threshold-type .
