IP SLAs sends data across the network to measure performance between multiple network locations or across multiple network paths. It simulates network data and IP services and collects network performance information in real time. IP SLAs generates and analyses traffic either between Cisco devices or from a Cisco device to a remote IP device such as a network application server. Cisco IP SLAs is Layer 2 transport independent, you can configure end-to-end operations over disparate networks to best reflect the metrics that an end user is likely to experience. IP SLA is an active method of monitoring and reliably reporting on network performance. By "active," I refer to the fact that IP SLA will generate and actively monitor traffic continuously across the network. Operations of IP SLA: Source: A device that creates and inserts IP SLA packets into the network. The source is where all IP SLA operation tests are initiated. Target: The ultimate destination of the packets cr...

What is CDP? – Cisco Discovery Protocol? The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is developed by Cisco to share information about other directly connected Cisco devices, such as the operating system version and IP address. CDP protocol is a Cisco proprietary Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) network protocol. Through the CDP, administrator can gather hardware and protocol information about neighbor devices. CDP protocol is default-enabled on all Cisco devices including routers and switches and runs on all LAN and WAN media that support Sub network Access Protocol (SNAP).   CDP Cisco Discovery Protocol Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) messages received from a neighbor Cisco device are not forwarded to any other devices by default. It means that Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is passed only to directly connected Cisco devices. Each Cisco device (which supports Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)) stores the messages received from neighbor devices in ...
