350-401 Question 222
Select 2An enterprise network administrator is tasked with monitoring the response time of a critical application hosted on a remote server. The administrator decides to use IP SLA ICMP Echo operations to measure round-trip time (RTT). After configuring the necessary IP SLA commands, which additional steps must the administrator perform to ensure the IP SLA operation is actively monitored and results are logged?
- A
Start the IP SLA operation using the 'ip sla schedule' command
- B
Enable SNMP traps for IP SLA monitoring
- C
Configure the IP SLA operation to run indefinitely with a schedule
- D
Apply the 'track' command to associate the IP SLA operation with an object
- E
Enable the logging for IP SLA statistics using the 'logging ip sla' command
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To configure and verify IP SLA ICMP Echo operations, the administrator must ensure the operation is scheduled to run using the 'ip sla schedule' command. Additionally, configuring the operation to run indefinitely ensures continuous monitoring. Other options, such as enabling SNMP traps or using the 'track' command, are optional and depend on the specific use case but are not mandatory for basic IP SLA operation and verification.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The 'ip sla schedule' command is used to activate the IP SLA operation and ensures it starts running.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While enabling SNMP traps is useful for alerting, it is not required to activate or log IP SLA operations.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Configuring the IP SLA operation to run indefinitely ensures continuous monitoring and collection of results.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The 'track' command is used to associate IP SLA results with a tracking object for failover or route adjustments, but it is not required to simply monitor and log results.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. There is no 'logging ip sla' command; IP SLA statistics can be viewed using the 'show ip sla statistics' command.
