Chapter 1 Cisco Nexus 7000 Series IP SLAs Commands

frequency

To set the rate at which a specified IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) operation repeats, use the
frequency command. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
seconds
Command Default
60 seconds
Command Modes UDP echo configuration mode (config-ip-sla-udp)
UDP jitter configuration mode (config-ip-sla-jitter)
Command History Release
6.1(1)
Usage Guidelines
A single IP SLAs operation repeats at a given frequency for the lifetime of the operation. For example,
a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) jitter operation with a frequency of 60 sends a collection of data
packets (simulated network traffic) once every 60 seconds for the lifetime of the operation. The default
simulated traffic for a UDP jitter operation consists of ten packets sent 20 milliseconds apart. This
payload is sent when the operation is started and is sent again 60 seconds later.
If an individual IP SLAs operation takes longer to execute than the specified frequency value, a statistics
counter called "busy" is incremented rather than immediately repeating the operation.
This command does not require a license.
Examples This example shows how to configure an IP SLAs UDP echo operation (operation 10) to repeat every 90
seconds:
switch(config)# ip sla 1
switch(config-ip-sla)# udp-echo 205.199.199.2 1
switch(config-ip-sla-udp)# frequency 90
switch(config-ip-sla-udp)# ip sla schedule 10 life 300 start-time after 00:05:00
switch(config)#
