[c-nsp] Catalyst SLA for dummies (if even possible?)

[Alan Buxey]

ip sla  would be the best way to go. The cisco docs are fairly clear on configuration and deployment. You just then need your snmp and graphing utils trio poll the ip sla details

I've been handed down an upstairs decree of providing some more
"concrete" SLA / availability / downtime / etc usage over time from our
network and external connectivity.

We have a few different internal monitoring systems (pulling some
typical SNMP stats, or ping availability), but none of the monitoring
systems in question have the uptime remotely approaching our network
uptime :)

I've noticed at least fragments of "ip sla" are available on at least
upper-end Catalysts (6500s).  Our network is 6500s core, and
distribution anything from 4500s to layer-3 3550/3560/3750s.  Are there
enough bits and pieces available for some useful SLA monitoring?

Is there an "SLA for dummies" summary/examples/pointers somewhere,
especially with a Catalyst slant?

Jeff
