   A network administrator needs to monitor a critical application's reachability from a branch router. The monitoring must run every 10 seconds during peak hours (9 AM to 5 PM) and every 60 seconds outside peak hours. The administrator wants to avoid manual intervention. Which approach should be used?

   • AUse the IP SLA 'schedule' command with a start time and end time to change the frequency automatically.
   • BConfigure two IP SLA operations with different frequencies and use EEM to switch between them based on time.
   • CConfigure a single IP SLA operation with a frequency of 10 seconds and accept the additional probe traffic outside peak hours.
   • DConfigure a single IP SLA operation with a frequency of 60 seconds and accept the reduced monitoring during peak hours.

   A router has a primary static route to ISP-A and a backup static route to ISP-B. The network team wants to use IP SLA to monitor the primary link by sending ICMP echo to a public IP address. The requirement is that the primary route should be removed only after 3 consecutive failed probes, and it should be reinstated after 2 consecutive successful probes. Which configuration achieves this?

   • AConfigure the tracking object with 'delay down 3 up 2' and associate it with the static route.
   • BConfigure the IP SLA operation with a frequency of 3 seconds and a timeout of 2 seconds.
   • CUse the 'threshold' command in the IP SLA operation to set the number of failures.
   • DConfigure the static route with a floating static route and rely on the IP SLA to change the administrative distance.

   Which statement accurately describes how Cisco IP SLA operates?

   • AIt requires a dedicated hardware probe to be installed at each end of the link
   • BIt analyzes syslog messages from network devices to determine performance trends
   • CIt uses SNMP traps to collect performance data from remote devices
   • DIt sends synthetic probes from a source device to a target device and measures the response to compute performance metrics

   A company wants to measure the response time of a web application hosted on a server that only accepts TCP connections on port 443. The network team needs to know if the server is reachable and how long it takes to establish a TCP connection. Which IP SLA operation type should be configured?

   • AIP SLA ICMP echo to the server's IP address
   • BIP SLA UDP jitter to the server's IP address on port 443
   • CIP SLA TCP connect to the server's IP address on port 443
   • DIP SLA HTTP operation to the server's URL
