Feature Information for the IP SLAs Ethernet Operation

IP SLAs for Metro-Ethernet

---

First Published: February 27, 2007

Last Updated: February 27, 2007

The IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for Metro-Ethernet feature provides the capability to gather Ethernet layer network performance metrics. This feature integrates Cisco IOS IP SLAs with the Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) feature. Ethernet CFM is an end-to-end per-service-instance Ethernet layer operation, administration, and management (OAM) protocol. Available statistical measurements for the IP SLAs Ethernet operation include round-trip time, jitter (interpacket delay variance), and packet loss.

The IP SLAs for Metro-Ethernet feature also allows you to perform multioperation scheduling of IP SLAs operations and supports proactive threshold violation monitoring through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap notifications and syslog messages.

Restrictions for the IP SLAs Ethernet Operation

Memory and performance may be impacted for a given Ethernet CFM maintenance domain and VLAN that has a large number of maintenance endpoints (MEPs).

Information About the IP SLAs Ethernet Operation

To configure an IP SLAs Ethernet operation, you should understand the following concepts:

•Benefits of the IP SLAs Ethernet Operation

•Ethernet CFM

•IP SLAs Ethernet Operation Basics

Benefits of the IP SLAs Ethernet Operation

•End-to-end connectivity measurements for determining network availability or testing network connectivity in service provider Ethernet networks

•Proactive threshold violation monitoring through SNMP trap notifications and syslog messages

•Reduced network troubleshooting time for service provider Ethernet networks

•Creation of IP SLAs Ethernet ping and Ethernet jitter operations based on network topology

•Discovery of existing maintenance endpoints (MEPs) in a given Ethernet CFM maintenance domain and VLAN based on the Ethernet CFM database

•Multioperation scheduling of IP SLAs operations

Ethernet CFM

Ethernet CFM is an end-to-end per-service-instance Ethernet layer operation, administration, and management (OAM) protocol. For more information about this feature, see the documentation for the Ethernet CFM feature. (See the "Related Documents" section for the location of this document.)

IP SLAs Ethernet Operation Basics

The IP SLAs for Metro-Ethernet feature integrates the IP SLAs software subsystem with the Ethernet CFM software subsystem to provide the capability to gather Ethernet layer statistical measurements by sending and receiving Ethernet data frames between Ethernet CFM maintenance endpoints (MEPs). The performance metrics for IP SLAs Ethernet operations are measured between a source MEP and a destination MEP. Unlike existing IP SLAs operations that provide performance metrics for the IP layer, the IP SLAs Ethernet operation provides performance metrics for Layer 2.

IP SLAs Ethernet operations may be configured using CLI or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). You can manually configure individual Ethernet ping or Ethernet jitter operations by specifying the destination MEP identification number, name of the maintenance domain, and VLAN identification number. You also have the option to configure an IP SLAs auto Ethernet operation that will query the Ethernet CFM database for all maintenance endpoints in a given maintenance domain and VLAN and automatically create individual Ethernet ping or Ethernet jitter operations based on the MEPs that were discovered. A notification mechanism exists between the IP SLAs and Ethernet CFM subsystems to facilitate the automatic creation of Ethernet ping or Ethernet jitter operations for applicable MEPs that are added to a given maintenance domain and VLAN while an auto Ethernet operation is running.

The IP SLAs for Metro-Ethernet feature also allows you to perform multioperation scheduling of IP SLAs operations and supports proactive threshold violation monitoring through SNMP trap notifications and syslog messages. For more information on these topics, see the "Related Documents" section.

Statistics Measured by the IP SLAs Ethernet Operation

The network performance metrics supported by the IP SLAs Ethernet operation is similar to the metrics supported by existing IP SLAs operations. The statistical measurements supported by the IP SLAs Ethernet jitter operation include the following:

•Jitter (source-to-destination and destination-to-source)

•Round-trip time latency

•Unprocessed packets

•Packet loss (source-to-destination and destination-to-source)

•Out-of-sequence, tail-dropped, and late packets

To configure proactive threshold monitoring parameters for a Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) auto Ethernet operation, use the ip sla ethernet-monitor reaction-configuration command in global configuration mode. To clear all threshold monitoring configuration for a specified auto Ethernet operation, use the no form of this command.

ip sla ethernet-monitor reaction-configuration operation-number react monitored-element [action-type {none | trapOnly}] [threshold-type {average [number-of-measurements] | consecutive [occurrences] | immediate | never | xofy [x-value y-value]}] [threshold-value upper-threshold lower-threshold]

no ip sla ethernet-monitor reaction-configuration operation-number

Syntax Description

operation-number	Number of the IP SLAs operation for which reactions are to be configured.
react monitored-element	Specifies the element to be monitored for threshold violations. Keyword options for the monitored-element argument are as follows: •connectionLoss—Specifies that a reaction should occur if there is a one-way connection loss for the monitored operation. •jitterAvg—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the average round-trip jitter value violates the upper threshold or lower threshold. •jitterDSAvg—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the average one-way destination-to-source jitter value violates the upper threshold or lower threshold. •jitterSDAvg—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the average one-way source-to-destination jitter value violates the upper threshold or lower threshold. •maxOfNegativeDS—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the one-way maximum negative jitter destination-to-source threshold is violated. •maxOfNegativeSD—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the one-way maximum negative jitter source-to-destination threshold is violated. •maxOfPositiveDS—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the one-way maximum positive jitter destination-to-source threshold is violated. •maxOfPositiveSD—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the one-way maximum positive jitter source-to-destination threshold is violated.
react monitored-element (continued)	•packetLateArrival—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the one-way number of late packets violates the upper threshold or lower threshold. •packetLossDS—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the one-way destination-to-source packet loss value violates the upper threshold or lower threshold. •packetLossSD—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the one-way source-to-destination packet loss value violates the upper threshold or lower threshold. •packetMIA—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the one-way number of missing packets violates the upper threshold or lower threshold. •packetOutOfSequence—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the one-way number of packets out of sequence violates the upper threshold or lower threshold. •rtt—Specifies that a reaction should occur if the round-trip time violates the upper threshold or lower threshold. •timeout—Specifies that a reaction should occur if there is a one-way timeout for the monitored operation.
action-type none	(Optional) Specifies that no action is taken when threshold events occur. The none keyword is the default value. Note If the threshold-type never keywords are configured, the action-type keyword is disabled.
action-type trapOnly	(Optional) Specifies that a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap notification should be sent when threshold violation events occur. Note If the threshold-type never keywords are configured, the action-type keyword is disabled.
threshold-type average [number-of-measurements]	(Optional) Specifies that when the average of a specified number of measurements for the monitored element exceeds the upper threshold or when the average of a specified number of measurements for the monitored element drops below the lower threshold, the action defined by the action-type keyword should be performed. For example, if the upper threshold for react rtt threshold-type average 3 is configured as 5000 ms and the last three results of the operation are 6000, 6000, and 5000 ms, the average would be 6000 + 6000 + 5000 = 17000/3 = 5667. In this case, the average exceeds the upper threshold. The default number of 5 averaged measurements can be changed using the number-of-measurements argument. The valid range is from 1 to 16. This syntax is not available if the connectionLoss or timeout keyword is specified as the monitored element, because upper and lower thresholds do not apply to these options.
threshold-type consecutive [occurrences]	(Optional) Specifies that when a threshold violation for the monitored element is met consecutively for a specified number of times, the action defined by the action-type keyword should be performed. The default number of 5 consecutive occurrences can be changed using the occurrences argument. The valid range is from 1 to 16.
threshold-type immediate	(Optional) Specifies that when a threshold violation for the monitored element is met, the action defined by the action-type keyword should be performed immediately.
threshold-type never	(Optional) Specifies that threshold violations should not be monitored. This is the default threshold type.
threshold-type xofy [x-value y-value]	(Optional) Specifies that when a threshold violation for the monitored element is met x number of times within the last y number of measurements ("x of y"), action defined by the action-type keyword should be performed. The default is 5 for both the x and y values (xofy 5 5). The valid range for each value is from 1 to 16.
threshold-value [upper-threshold lower-threshold]	(Optional) Specifies the upper-threshold and lower-threshold values of the applicable monitored elements. See Table 1 in the "Usage Guidelines" section for a list of the default values.

Command Default

IP SLAs proactive threshold monitoring is disabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
12.2(33)SRB	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You can configure the ip sla ethernet-monitor reaction-configuration command multiple times to enable proactive threshold monitoring for multiple elements (for example, configuring thresholds for round-trip time and destination-to-source packet loss) for the same operation. However, disabling of individual monitored elements is not supported. In other words, the no ip sla ethernet-monitor reaction-configuration command will disable all proactive threshold monitoring configuration for the specified IP SLAs operation.

SNMP traps for IP SLAs are supported by the CISCO-RTTMON-MIB and CISCO-SYSLOG-MIB. Use the ip sla logging traps command to enable the generation of SNMP system logging messages specific to IP SLAs trap notifications. Use the snmp-server enable traps rtr command to enable the sending of IP SLAs SNMP trap notifications.

To display the current threshold monitoring configuration settings for an auto Ethernet operation, use the show ip sla ethernet-monitor configuration command.

Table 1 lists the default upper and lower thresholds for specific monitored elements.
