Objectives Part 1: Build the Network and Verify Connectivity Part 2: Configure IP SLA ICMP Echo on R1 Part 3: Test and Monitor the IP SLA Operation
Background / Scenario An outside vendor has been contracted to provide web services for your company. As the network administrator, you have been asked to monitor the vendors service. You decide to configure IP SLA to help with that task. Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the correct interface identifiers. Note: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure, contact your instructor.
Required Resources 2 Router (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable) Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports Serial cable as shown in the topology

Part 1: Build the Network and Verify Connectivity
In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings, such as the interface IP addresses, static routing, device access, and passwords.
Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.
Attach the devices as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as necessary.
Step 2: Initialize and reload the routers as necessary.
Step 3: Configure basic settings for R1.
a. Disable DNS lookup. b. Configure the device name as shown in the topology. c. Configure an IP address for the router as listed in the Addressing Table. d. Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password. e. Assign cisco for the console and vty password, enable login. f. Configure logging synchronous to prevent console messages from interrupting command entry. g. Configure the default route for R1 to the ISP S0/0/0 IP address. h. Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.
Step 4: Copy and paste the configuration to the ISP router.
The ISP router configuration is provided below. Copy and paste this configuration into the ISP router. Loopback 0 is being used to simulate the Web server shown in the Topology. hostname ISP no ip domain lookup interface Loopback0 ip address 198.133.219.1 255.255.255.255 interface Serial0/0/0 ip address 209.165.200.10 255.255.255.252 no shut end
Step 5: Verify connectivity.
a. From R1, you should be able to ping the ISP Serial interface IP address. Were all pings successful?
If the pings are not successful, troubleshoot the basic device configurations before continuing. b. From R1, you should be able to ping the Web Server IP address. Were all pings successful?
If the pings are not successful, troubleshoot the basic device configurations before continuing.

Part 2: Configure IP SLA ICMP Echo on R1
In Part 2, you configure an IP SLA ICMP Echo operation on R1. Use the following parameters for this operation: Operation-number: 22 ICMP Echo Destination Address: 198.133.219.1 Frequency: 20 seconds Schedule Start: Now Schedule Life time: Forever
Step 1: Create an IP SLA Operation.
Step 2: Configure the ICMP Echo Operation.
Step 3: Set the rate the IP SLA operation repeats.
Step 4: Schedule the IP SLA ICMP Echo operation.
Step 5: Use show command to verify the IP SLA configuration.
Part 3: Test and Monitor the IP SLA Operation
In Part 3, you will simulate an outage of web services. This can be done by an administratively shutdown of the loopback 0 interface on the ISP router. You will then display the IP SLA operation statistics to monitorthe effect of this test.
Step 1: Shutdown the loopback 0 interface on the ISP router.
ISP(config)# interface Lo0 ISP(config-if)# shutdown ISP(config-if)# *Nov 28 14:00:52.823: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Loopback0, changed state to administratively down *Nov 28 14:00:53.823: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback0, changed state to down ISP(config-if)# Note: Wait a few minutes before executing Step 2.
Step 2: Activate the loopback 0 interface on the ISP router.
R2(config-if)# no shutdown R2(config-if)# *Nov 28 14:04:23.263: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Loopback0, changed state to up *Nov 28 14:04:24.263: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback0, changed state to up R2(config-if)#
Step 3: Issue the command used to display the IP SLA operation statistics on R1. R1# show ip sla statistics

IPSLAs Latest Operation Statistics
IPSLA operation id: 22
Latest RTT: 1 milliseconds Latest operation start time: 18:44:45 UTC Thu Jan 28 2016 Latest operation return code: OK Number of successes: 103 Number of failures: 10 Operation time to live: Forever Note: You should see a failure count greater than zero if you waited more than 20 seconds before re- activating the loopback 0 interface on the ISP router. The IP SLA configured in Part 2 will run forever. How would you stop the IP SLA from running but still leave the IP SLA configured to use at a future time?
Reflection Using the labs show ip sla statistics example, what does the failure count indicate about the Web Server?

Router Interface Summary Table
Router Interface Summary

There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
