IP SLA Sample Configuration for Voice

IP SLA has the ability to measure "real-time" WAN connection quality. You can then use the results of the measurement for routing decisions (such as choosing an alternate path). This is especially effective for VoIP connections. The following sample configuration can be used to create a IP SLA Jitter/Packet Loss monitor for use with VoIP deployments:

IP SLA Source

Source(config)#ip sla 100  !Some IOS versions use ip sla monitor
Source(config-ip-sla)#udp-jitter 172.16.1.2 65424 codec g729a
Source(config-ip-sla-jitter)#tos 176 !Marks packets with DSCP EF (IP Precedence 5)
Source(config-ip-sla-jitter)#exit
Source(config)#ip sla schedule 100 recurring start-time now
Source(config)#interface s0/1/0
Source(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0

IP SLA Responder

Responder(config)#ip sla responder !Some IOS versions use ip sla monitor
Responder(config)#interface s0/1
Responder(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.0

Add a mix of cacti into that soup and you get a damn good monitoring system.

Hi Jeremy,

Just like to bring up from your CCNA voice book. The Ethernet Header size you have put is wrong, it should be 38 bytes (without 802.1Q tag) or 42 bytes (with 802.1Q tag).

Correct me if I am wrong.

Small nitpick. I thought the DSCP value for EF traffic was 46 and therefore the TOS byte would be 184.
