350-401 Question 224
Select 3A network engineer is tasked with ensuring reliable connectivity between two branch locations. They decide to use Cisco IP SLA to monitor the network performance. After configuring an ICMP Echo operation between the two locations, they notice that the operation is not running. Which of the following steps will help verify and troubleshoot the IP SLA configuration?
- A
Ensure that the IP SLA operation is scheduled to run.
- B
Verify that the destination IP address in the IP SLA operation is reachable.
- C
Check if the IP SLA operation is associated with a tracking object.
- D
Confirm that the appropriate QoS policies are applied to the IP SLA traffic.
- E
Inspect the routing table for a route to the destination of the IP SLA operation.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To troubleshoot an IP SLA operation, it is essential to confirm that the operation is scheduled, the destination is reachable, and the operation is properly associated with a tracking object if needed. QoS and routing table checks, while important for overall network performance, are not directly tied to the basic functionality of IP SLA.
- A. Correct.
Ensuring that the IP SLA operation is scheduled is critical since an unscheduled operation will not run.
- B. Correct.
If the destination IP address is not reachable, the IP SLA operation will fail, so verifying this is important.
- C. Correct.
Associating the IP SLA operation with a tracking object is important for dynamic adjustments based on the SLA results.
- D. Incorrect.
While QoS policies are beneficial for prioritizing traffic, they are not directly related to ensuring that the IP SLA operation runs.
- E. Incorrect.
Checking the routing table is useful for connectivity issues but is not directly required for troubleshooting IP SLA configuration.
