Hi Wael,

No, the IPSLAMGR module is not standalone.

You will need to install it above Orion NPM.

Hope that clarifies.

Hi Andy

Thanks

So if I have now IP SLA installed on top of Orion NPM, and I want to install it on standalone server, this will not work at all ???

Regards

nding

Yes, IPSLAMGR can't work on its own. It requires Orion NPM.

wael.hilal

Thanks

wael.hilal

Can i install the Orion NPM on another server and then use the IPSLA on it???

regards

nding

As long as Orion IPSLAMGR is installed above Orion NPM, it will be fine.

wael.hilal

Can I install the Orion NPM on two servers???

regards

nding

If you are talking about 2 Orion NPMs on 2 separate server, of course you are able to do so.

But a single license is only valid for a single installation. So, 2 licenses will be required.

wael.hilal

Thanks

But you know what is our problem.

We want to measure the IP SLA between two CPEs, the problem is that the IP SLA server is real IP address, and the Customer CPE are within VPN, so the Orion server cannot reach the CPE because it is inside VPN!!! Can you help us in this regard??

Regards

jiri.tomek

Can you install Additional Poller that can access CPE and setup tunnel between main server and Additional Poller so that they can see each other?

sja

If you plan to run alot of IPSLA (SLX) operation you probebly need to check with support what is the maximum

You could run into some problem there.

wael.hilal

Could you please tell me the solution in more details??

Regards

nding

I think what Jiri means is that you should install a Orion NPM on one end, and the Additional Poller on the far end.

And ensure that both can access CPE and set up a tunnel to communicate between them.

Install IPSLAMGR on both of them (IPSLAMGR module installed on the Additional Poller does not require license)

And you should be able to monitor the IPSLA between them, as the Orion NPM does not need to communicate with the far end network device.

The Additional Poller will communicate with the device at the far end, and will share the information with Orion NPM.

Just to clarify, we do not support IPSLA inside an MPLS network. You must apply IPSLA to the CPE (MPLS edge). That is where you can specify which VFR to use in the IPSLA manager wizard.

wael.hilal

So do you mean by this that the IP SLA statistics can be gotten at the edge of the MPLS network??

I mean from PE router to PE router??

Not sure what you mean by PE router to PE router. Ipsla statitics is collected on the router you configure it, and nowhere else.

The question one very important:

I have a question to ask yourself:
What commands exactly as written IPSLA?
And it is the consequence?

The question two very important:

What are the equipment that are supported by IP SLA ?

thank you

See appendix B

bilel

Thank you for the response

but what are the consequences to write to operation ?

Bilel

michal.hrncirik

Hi Bilel,

what do you mean by the consequences? IPSLA Manager uses exactly the same syntax as you would use directly through Cisco CLI.

bilel

I speak of consequence on my network architecture for IP SLA if written command, behind me I just do not take the risk that my network architecture falls.

So I'd like to know what I risk behind setting up IP SLA?

Hoping to have understood!

Bilel

michal.hrncirik

Hi,

there should not be any risk behind setting up IP SLA on your network. IPSLA operations have a minimal impact on network health. The only problem could be when you set up operations to be tested too frequently or you have a lot of overlapping operations on the same paths.

You may take a look into the IPSLA admin guide page 24 - "Understanding the Impact IP SLA Operations" where you may see a model situation.

thanks,

Michal
