350-401 Practice Question: Issues the following command on Router R9: R9#…
A network engineer issues the following command on Router R9:
R9# show ip sla configuration 7 IP SLAs Infrastructure Engine-II
Entry number: 7 Owner: Tag: Type of operation to perform: icmp-echo Target address: 192.168.9.10 Source address: 192.168.9.1 Type Of Service parameter: 0x0 Request size (ARR data portion): 28 Operation timeout (milliseconds): 5000 Frequency (seconds): 30 Next Scheduled Start Time: Start Time already passed Group Scheduled : FALSE Life (seconds): 3600 Entry Ageout (seconds): never Recurring (Starting Everyday, Starting Time: 00:00:01) Status of entry (SNMP RowStatus): Active Threshold (milliseconds): 5000 Distribution Statistics: Number of statistic hours kept: 2 Number of statistic distribution buckets kept: 1 Statistic distribution interval (milliseconds): 20 Enhanced History:
Based on this output, how long will this IP SLA operation run?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between 'Life', 'Frequency', and 'Timeout' in IP SLA configurations, and the trap here is that candidates confuse the 'Frequency' (30 seconds) or 'Timeout' (5000 ms) with the total operation duration, overlooking the explicit 'Life' field.
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
✓
3600 seconds
The 'Life (seconds): 3600' field explicitly defines the duration for which the IP SLA operation remains active. This value overrides any other timing parameters, meaning the operation will run for 3600 seconds (1 hour) from its start time, regardless of the frequency or threshold settings.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Forever
Why it's wrong here
The life is set to 3600 seconds, not forever.
- ✗
30 seconds
Why it's wrong here
30 seconds is the frequency, not the lifetime.
- ✓
3600 seconds
Why this is correct
The life is explicitly 3600 seconds.
- ✗
5000 milliseconds
Why it's wrong here
5000 milliseconds is the timeout, not the lifetime.
