For more information on IP SLA, visit: http://www.solarwinds.com/products/ip-sla-monitoring/info.aspx Watch this webcast: http://www.solarwinds.com/resources/webcasts/network-monitoring-fundamentals.html Unless you’ve spent the last few years buried beneath Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) issues or lost somewhere within Active Directory, chances are that you’ve heard of Cisco IP SLA. Just in case you haven’t, it’s wicked cool technology that lets you have your routers and switches run traffic/application tests from their location in the network so that you can better understand how the network is performing. While this is nifty all by itself, the true power of IP SLA is exposed when you use a network management system to collect, analyze, and display the results from the IP SLA operations your devices are running. In this webcast, we explain Cisco IP SLA in detail and demonstrate how the new Orion IP SLA Manager makes implementing and leveraging Cisco IP SLA easy. Some of the things we cover are: • What IP SLA is and how it works • Which devices support IP SLA • Best practices for deploying Cisco IP SLA • Using Orion with Cisco IP SLA • A tour of Orion IP SLA Manager
