(Optional) source-interface interface-id—Specify the source interface for
•
the operation.
(Optional) Set the rate at which a specified IP SLAs operation repeats. The
range is from 1 to 604800 seconds; the default is 60 seconds.
Exit UDP jitter configuration mode, and return to global configuration mode.
Configure the scheduling parameters for an individual IP SLAs operation.
operation-number—Enter the RTR entry number.
•
(Optional) life—Set the operation to run indefinitely (forever) or for a
•
specific number of seconds. The range is from 0 to 2147483647. The

Enter after hh:mm:ss to indicate that the operation should start after
the entered time has elapsed.
•
(Optional) ageout seconds—Enter the number of seconds to keep the
