image.
This chapter describes how to use Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) on the Catalyst 2960
and 2960-S switches. Cisco IP SLAs is a part of Cisco IOS software that allows Cisco customers to
analyze IP service levels for IP applications and services by using active traffic monitoring—the
generation of traffic in a continuous, reliable, and predictable manner—for measuring network
performance. With Cisco IOS IP SLAs, service provider customers can measure and provide service
level agreements, and enterprise customers can verify service levels, verify outsourced service level
agreements, and understand network performance. Cisco IOS IP SLAs can perform network
assessments, verify quality of service (QoS), ease the deployment of new services, and assist with
network troubleshooting. Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a standalone switch and to a
switch stack.
