Measuring Network Performance with IP SLA

Measuring Network Performance with IP SLA explains how engineers can look beyond simple connectivity checks by actively measuring latency, response behavior, and service quality. The course shows how Cisco IP SLAs create test traffic, how operations are configured and scheduled, and how results can be monitored for troubleshooting and assurance. Learners study ICMP-based measurements, practical use cases, and the connection between IP SLA, Object Tracking, routing decisions, and automated failover. Reaction settings, syslog messages, SNMP traps, quizzes, and labs help learners use IP SLA as a proactive method for maintaining network performance.

Keith Bogart

Course Instructor

Keith started his networking career as customer service representative at Cisco Systems in 1996. His desire to learn more soon led him to a position as a Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineer on the “Dial-Access” team, and within six months he had obtained his Dial-ISP CCIE. He later became a network consulting engineer and obtained his CCNA certification while teaching the technologies to Cisco employees during his lunch breaks. Keith was the first instructor on Cisco’s TAC Training team, where he taught a wide range of internetworking topics and later developed and taught other courses such as routing protocols, LAN switching, MPLS, 802.1x, and CCNA. After almost 17 years with Cisco, Keith joined a small startup and focused on 802.11 Wi-Fi technologies, during which time he obtained his CWNA certification. He is now very happy to be working with as an instructor for Routing & Switching. Keith lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, son, and daughter. When he is not teaching Bootcamps, Keith can be found at home with his family, reading, or working in the yard.
