A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot an IP SLA issue:
R1# show ip sla monitor configuration 10 IP SLAs Monitor, Infrastructure Engine-II.
Entry number: 10 Owner: Tag: Type of operation to perform: icmp-echo Target address: 192.168.1.1 Type Of Service parameter: 0x0 Request size (ARR data portion): 28 Operation timeout (milliseconds): 5000 Frequency (seconds): 60 Next Scheduled Start Time: Start Time already occurred Group Scheduled : FALSE Life (seconds): Forever Entry Ageout (seconds): never Recurring (Starting Everyday): FALSE Status of entry (SNMP RowStatus): Active Threshold (milliseconds): 5000 Distribution Statistics: Number of history intervals kept: 0 Number of history buckets kept: 15 History Statistics: Number of history Lives kept: 0
What does this output indicate?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is misreading the frequency and timeout values, or assuming the operation is pending because of the 'Next Scheduled Start Time' line; candidates must carefully parse the output fields.
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
✓
The IP SLA monitor operation is configured as an ICMP echo probe with a 60-second frequency and 5-second timeout.
The output shows 'Type of operation to perform: icmp-echo', indicating an ICMP echo probe. The 'Frequency (seconds): 60' means the probe runs every 60 seconds, and 'Operation timeout (milliseconds): 5000' means it times out after 5 seconds. The status is 'Active', not pending.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The IP SLA monitor operation is configured as a UDP jitter probe to 192.168.1.1.
Why it's wrong here
The output states Type of operation to perform: icmp-echo, not a UDP jitter probe. UDP jitter probes generate synthetic traffic to measure delay and packet loss between devices; icmp-echo simply pings the target to test reachability.
- ✓
The IP SLA monitor operation is configured as an ICMP echo probe with a 60-second frequency and 5-second timeout.
Why this is correct
The output confirms an icmp-echo operation targeting 192.168.1.1, with Frequency set to 60 seconds and Operation timeout to 5000 milliseconds. These values match the option's description, so the probe type, polling interval and timeout are all correctly stated for entry 10.
- ✗
The IP SLA monitor operation has a frequency of 5 seconds and a timeout of 60 seconds.
Why it's wrong here
The output lists Frequency (seconds): 60 and Operation timeout (milliseconds): 5000, so the values are reversed in this option. Frequency governs how often the probe repeats; timeout governs how long each probe waits for a reply before failing.
- ✗
The IP SLA monitor operation is in a 'Pending' state.
Why it's wrong here
The output shows Status of entry (SNMP RowStatus): Active, so the operation is running, not Pending. Pending appears only before the scheduled start time is reached; here Next Scheduled Start Time states the start time already occurred, confirming the probe is active.
