300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…
A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show ip sla statistics 1
Round Trip Time (RTT) for Index 1 Latest RTT: 200 ms Latest RTT (milliseconds): 200 Latest RTT (microseconds): 200000 Number of successes: 50 Number of failures: 10 Operation time to live: Forever Output: Over threshold
Based on this output, which statement is correct?
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 latest RTT has exceeded the configured threshold value.
The 'Output: Over threshold' line indicates that the latest RTT exceeded the configured threshold. The number of failures (10) suggests some probes failed, but the key clue is the threshold violation. This does not necessarily mean the operation is down; it means a threshold event occurred.
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 operation has failed due to a timeout.
Why it's wrong here
'Output: Over threshold' reports that the latest RTT exceeded the configured threshold, not that the operation timed out; failures are counted separately from threshold breaches. Timeout would appear as a failed operation, whereas threshold monitoring is used to raise alerts on latency.
- ✓
The latest RTT has exceeded the configured threshold value.
Why this is correct
The statistics show 'Output: Over threshold', meaning the measured latest RTT of 200 ms exceeded the configured threshold value for that IP SLA operation. Successes and failures alone do not trigger this status; the threshold breach does.
- ✗
The IP SLA operation is not reachable and has been disabled.
Why it's wrong here
'Over threshold' means the RTT exceeded the configured threshold, not that the operation is unreachable or disabled; successes and failures are both recorded. It is tempting because failures appear in the output, but 'Operation time to live: Forever' confirms the operation remains active.
- ✗
The IP SLA responder is not configured on the target device.
Why it's wrong here
A missing responder would cause timeouts and failures, but the output shows 50 successes and an RTT value, proving replies were received. It is tempting because responder absence is a common IP SLA fault, yet the statistics here demonstrate successful round trips.
