Example-1: This data model creates two IP SLA Policies named L2PingEach30sec and PingEach20sec. They are usually referenced by Redirect Policies as a method for active traffic monitoring that measures network performance by generating traffic probes such as ICMP, TCP, or L2Ping (specified in sla_type). It will provide reachability and performance data, but it will not automatically influence PBR traffic redirection decisions. If you select tcp as sla_type, you must define a port value as well.
