300-410 Practice Question: Which TWO commands are used to configure an IP…
Which TWO commands are used to configure an IP SLA ICMP echo operation on a Cisco IOS device? (Choose TWO.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
ip sla 1
To configure an IP SLA ICMP echo operation, you start with 'ip sla <operation-number>' to enter IP SLA configuration mode, then use 'icmp-echo <destination> [source-ip <src>]' to define the probe. The 'frequency' command sets how often the probe is sent. The 'ip sla schedule' is used to start the operation, not to configure it. The 'track' command is used separately to monitor the operation. The 'ip sla monitor' is legacy.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
ip sla 1
Why this is correct
This command enters IP SLA configuration mode for operation number 1.
- ✓
icmp-echo 192.168.1.1 source-ip 10.0.0.1
Why this is correct
This defines the ICMP echo operation with destination and source IP.
- ✗
ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now
Why it's wrong here
This schedules the operation to run, but it is not part of the configuration of the operation itself.
- ✗
track 1 ip sla 1 reachability
Why it's wrong here
This creates a tracking object that monitors the IP SLA operation, but it is not used to configure the operation.
- ✗
ip sla monitor 1
Why it's wrong here
This is a legacy command from older IOS versions and is not used in modern configurations.
