350-401 Question #263: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

An IP SLA fails to generate statistics. How can you fix the problem?

Options

• AAdd the verify-data command to the router configuration.
• BReload the router configuration.
• CRemove the ip sla schedule statement from the router configuration and re-enter it.
• DAdd the debug ip sla error command to the router configuration.
• EAdd the debug ip sla trace command to the router configuration.

Explanation

If IP SLA fails to generate statistics, adding the verify-data command to the IP SLA operation configuration ensures that returned packets are validated, which is crucial for statistical collection.

Common mistakes.

• B. Reloading the router is a drastic and unnecessary step for troubleshooting IP SLA statistics generation; specific configuration commands are the proper solution.
• C. Removing and re-entering the ip sla schedule statement might resolve transient scheduling issues, but it does not address a fundamental configuration requirement like enabling data verification for statistics generation.
• D. debug ip sla error is a troubleshooting command to display error messages, not a configuration command to enable statistics generation itself.
• E. debug ip sla trace is a debugging command to trace the execution of IP SLA operations, which helps in identifying problems but does not fix the problem of statistics not generating.

Concept tested. IP SLA verify-data for statistics
