Alrighty Kings, I did some tests.
I was wrong :) The only time the SLA shows the test as timeout is if "ALL" the pings fail to get a response within the configure timeout interval. ex : Suppose the frequency is 10 seconds, and the num-of-packets is 3 and the timeout is 1000 ( 1 second ). The asa sends out 3 pings once every 10 seconds. I configured CPPR on R1 to only permit 1 echo-request and the 2 were dropped. But the ASA was still saying that the timeout didn't occur, but i could see the "NumofRTT" field in "show sla monitor operational-state" go down to 1 ( it was 3 originally, i.e 3 echo-replies were received) . But as soon as i dropped all icmp traffic on R1, the ASA immediately showed that the timeout had occurred. So as a summary, for the SLA to timeout , all the pings have to timeout, not just 1. Cheers, TacACK
