Configuring devices to export data to Site24x7 for Cisco IPSLA monitoring

Site24x7 leverages Cisco Internet Protocol Service Level Agreement (IPSLA) technology to monitor WAN RTT latency and VoIP call quality in real time, enabling network administrators to proactively detect performance issues and resolve them faster with instant alerts. To monitor devices using Cisco IPSLA, you have to configure your Cisco devices to export data to Site24x7 On-Premise Poller. Also, ensure that your devices satisfy the basic prerequisites.

Step 1: Enabling device discovery

• Add the source device for monitoring in Site24x7 if it’s not already added.
• The credentials used for the device should contain the correct SNMP Read and Write Community credentials.

Step 2: Enabling the SLA responder on the destination device

To enable the service level agreement (SLA) responder on the destination device that you wish to monitor, follow the steps below:

1. Open a command-line interface (CLI) session on the destination router and enable EXEC (system call) mode as follows:
   

   Router>enable

2. Start global configuration mode:
   

   Router#configure terminal

3. Enable the IPSLA responder using either of the commands below:
   

   Router(config)#ip sla responder

   or
   

   Router(config)#ip sla monitor responder

   Note

   Enter any one of the commands based on your IOS version.

Repeat the above steps for all the destination routers on which you want to monitor VoIP performance.
