Even a network superhero like you has blind spots. You’re in complete command of
your network devices, but the users under your protection are always uncovering
hidden bottlenecks between sites. How are those remote sites communicating with
each other out in the network – and is that Web traffic performing well between
San Francisco and Sao Paolo? Cisco® IP SLA holds the secrets, and with SolarWinds
free IP SLA Monitor you can master them.
Cisco developed IP SLA technology as part of their IOS software, enabling you to
analyze IP service levels for network-based applications and services. IP SLA technology
measures the round trip time (RTT) of network services and communications between
devices to give you a better measurement of your network’s true performance. Implementing
IP SLA commands manually can be challenging, but SolarWinds IP SLA Monitor does
the heavy lifting for you.
IP SLA Monitor enables IP SLA on Cisco routers and switches, configures the path-specific
operation details, and displays the resulting real-time performance information
in an easy-to-read dashboard. IP SLA Monitor’s intuitive interface allows you to
easily monitor common IP SLA operations, including UDP echo, ICMP path echo (ping),
TCP connect, DNS resolution, and HTTP.
Even better, you can import IP SLA monitors into
Orion Network Performance Monitor to get a more complete view of
your network’s health. With Orion NPM, you can track IP SLA trends, create powerful
alerts, and monitor and report on the performance between devices anywhere on your
network. It’s easy to automatically create and export a Universal Device Poller
(UnDP) within IP SLA Monitor that can be seamlessly used in Orion NPM to do all
of this and more.
SolarWinds free IP SLA Monitor makes it easy to:
- Analyze performance between a Cisco IP SLA-enabled device and other
remote devices
- Monitor common IP SLA operations, including UDP echo, ICMP path
echo (ping), TCP connect time, DNS resolution, and HTTP response
- Create and export a Universal
Device Poller (UnDP) to monitor path-specific IP SLA performance in Orion Network Performance Monitor
- Verify and monitor quality of service (QoS)
- View IP SLA operation details, including frequency, source and
target, operation type, and Type of Service (ToS) settings
- Prevent performance degradation by watching threshold-specific
indicators to visually alert you when a performance problem occurs
