Configuring NQA

Configuring an ICMP Test

An ICMP test determines host reachability based on whether a reply packet is received.

Configuring a DHCP Test

DHCP tests check whether DHCP servers can respond to DHCP requests from clients and compute the time spent on allocating IP addresses to the clients.

Configuring an FTP Download Test

An FTP download test measures the speed at which a client downloads a specified file from an FTP server.

Configuring an FTP Upload Test

An FTP upload test measures the speed at which a client uploads a specified file to an FTP server.

Configuring an HTTP Test

An HTTP test checks whether the NQA client can set up a connection to a specified HTTP server and measures the time spent on obtaining data from the HTTP server.

Configuring a DNS Test

A DNS test measures the speed at which a DNS server resolves a specified domain name to an IP address.

Configuring UDP-tracert test

The UDP-tracert test is used to detect the path for forwarding packets from the NQA client to the destination device and record the delay of packet forwarding from the source device to each intermediate device.

Configuring a TCP Test

A TCP test measures the speed at which a host sets up a TCP connection to a TCP server through a three-way handshake.

Configuring a UDP Test

A UDP test checks connectivity between a client and a specified UDP port of the server and the round trip time of UDP packets.

Configuring a UDP-jitter Test

A UDP-jitter test measures the delay jitter of a network to determine whether the network can carry real-time services.

Configuring the Threshold-Exceeding Trap Function

The threshold-exceeding trap function helps you learn NQA test situations in real time.
