# IP SLA We can set up synthetic traffic to be generated from an IP SLA source device on one router to another IP SLA Responder on another router. **`R2(config)# ip sla responder`** \ **`R2# show ip sla responder`** **`R1(config)# ip sla 1 -------------- to create a particu;ar test`** \ **`R1(config-ip-sla)# udp-jitter 10.1.1.2 49152 codec g711ulaw`** How often is this test going to run for? Set a frequency for the generation of this traffic **`R1(config-ip-sla)# frequency 75`** \ **`R1(config-ip-sla)# owner Wallis (owner of this particular test)`** \ **`R1(config-ip-sla)#tag TEST (so we can pull this info easily into SNMP)`** \ **`R1(config-ip-sla)#tos 184 (type of service for these synthetic, say packets-expedited forwarding traffic = 184 in decimal that differentiated services value)`** Test is set up with the parameters we are interested in, we set up a schedule **`R1(config)# ip sla schedule 1 start-time now life forever`** (specify our particular IP SLA number that we set up of one. and then are we going to start it - right now- and what should be the life of this particular test - forever **`R1#sho ip sla statistics 1 ---this 1 is from above "ip sla 1"`** ![](/files/-MJBJWRmvh01sPCJP8R9) We can pull this information into SNMP and be proactive for example checking statistics on links etc. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
