3.1.1.3 Setting up IP SLA on Cisco IOS devices
Certain features within Operations Manager use the IP SLA (formerly known as SAA or
Real Time Responder (RTR)) functionality in Cisco routers and switches. If you intend to
use these features (SRST Monitoring, Phone Status tests, and Node-to-Node tests), you
will need to ensure that the IP SLA is enabled on these devices. You will need to enable
the IP SLA on all the routers and switches that will be used in Survivable Remote Site
Telephony (SRST) Monitoring or in Node-to-Node tests. Typically, these are the edge
routers in your branch networks and the default gateway for the Cisco CallManager. You
can enable the IPSLA responder in the IP SLA router by running the following command
(depending on the Cisco IOS version) in the global configuration mode:

Use the show command to verify that the responder is running properly:
router#show rtr responder
Use the following show command to verify that the IP SLA feature is available in the
Cisco IOS device:

3.1.2.1 SNMP v2 Community Strings
Operations Manager can use SNMP v2 read community strings to retrieve fault and
performance information from the devices. Some of the features in Operations Manager
(Node-to-Node tests, SRST Monitoring, and Phone Status tests) also require SNMP write
community strings to configure the IP SLA on certain devices. If you intend to use these
features, be sure to configure SNMP write community strings on these devices. All
