ip sla schedule
Usage Guidelines After you schedule the operation with the ip sla schedule command, you cannot change the
configuration of the operation. To change the configuration of the operation, use the no form of the ip
sla global configuration and reenter the configuration information.
The following time line shows the aged-out process of the operation:
W----------------------X----------------------Y----------------------Z
where
•W is the time that the operation was configured with the ip sla command.
•X is the start time or start of life of the operation (that is, when the operation became active).
•Y is the end of life as configured with the ip sla schedule command (life seconds have counted down
to zero).
•Z is the aged-out time of the operation.
When the operation is in an active state, it immediately begins collecting information.
The aged-out time starts counting down at W and Y, is suspended between X and Y, and is reset to its
configured size at Y.
The operation can ageout before it executes (that is, Z can occur before X). To ensure that this situation
does not happen, configure the difference between the operation's configuration time and start time (X
and W) to be less than the aged-out seconds.
The recurring keyword is supported only for scheduling single IP SLAs operations. You cannot
schedule multiple IP SLAs operations using the ip sla schedule command. The life value for a recurring
IP SLAs operation should be less than one day. The aged-out value for a recurring operation must be
"never" (which is specified with the value 0), or the sum of the life and aged-out values must be more
than one day. If the recurring option is not specified, the operations are started in the existing normal
scheduling mode.
This command does not require a license.
Examples This example shows how to configure scheduling operation 3 to begin collecting data immediately and
to run indefinitely:
switch(config)# ip sla schedule 3 start-time now life forever
switch(config)#
This example shows how to configure scheduling operation 15 to begin automatically collecting data
every day at 1:30 a.m.:
switch(config)# ip sla schedule 15 start-time 01:30:00 recurring
switch(config)#
