300-410 Practice Question: Configures IP SLA with an HTTP GET operation to…
A network engineer configures IP SLA with an HTTP GET operation to monitor a web server. The operation shows 'Success' but the response time is extremely high. The engineer checks the web server and finds it is overloaded. The engineer wants to configure a threshold so that the IP SLA operation triggers a track object when the response time exceeds 500 ms. Which configuration change is required?

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
✓
Configure the 'threshold' command under the IP SLA operation and use the 'track' command with 'threshold' keyword in the track object.
IP SLA HTTP operations measure response time, but to trigger a track object based on threshold violation, the engineer must configure the 'threshold' command under the IP SLA operation and then configure the track object to react to the 'threshold' state, not just the 'up/down' state. By default, track objects only track up/down, not threshold violations.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure the 'threshold' command under the IP SLA operation and use the 'track' command with 'threshold' keyword in the track object.
Why this is correct
The track object must be configured to monitor the threshold state using the 'threshold' keyword; otherwise, it only tracks reachability.
- ✗
Configure the 'timeout' command to 500 ms; the track object will automatically react to timeouts.
Why it's wrong here
Timeout is for the entire operation, not for threshold-based tracking.
- ✗
Use the 'reaction' command under the IP SLA operation to trigger a trap; the track object cannot react to thresholds.
Why it's wrong here
Track objects can react to thresholds if configured correctly.
- ✗
Configure the IP SLA operation with a lower frequency to get more samples; the track object will average the response time.
Why it's wrong here
Frequency does not affect threshold tracking.
