Configuring an FTP Download Test

Procedure

1. Access the system view.

   system-view

2. Create an NQA test instance and access the test instance view.

   nqa test-instance admin-name test-name

3. Set the test type to FTP.

   test-type ftp

4. Set the destination address.

   destination-address ipv4 ip-address

5. Configure an FTP user name.

   ftp-username name

6. Configure an FTP password.

   ftp-password password

7. Set the operation type to Get.

   ftp-operation get

8. Set the name of the file to be downloaded.

   ftp-filename file-name

   

   The specified file name must indicate a file existing on the FTP server. Otherwise, the test will fail.

9. Optional: Configure other FTP download test parameters as required.

   Item	Command	Description
   Configuring description of a test instance	description description-information	-
   Configuring a tested VPN instance	vpn-instance vpn-instance-name	-
   Setting the source IP address of test packets	source-address ipv4 ip-address	By default, no source IP address is specified for test packets. The packets use the primary IP address of the outbound interface as their source IP address. The specified source IP address must be the IP address of an Up interface on the FW. Otherwise, the test will fail.
   Setting the source port of test packets	source-port port-number	-
   Setting the destination port of test packets	destination-port port-number	By default, port 21 is used as the destination port for FTP download tests.
   Setting the size of the file to be downloaded	ftp-filesize size	By default, no file size is specified. This is, the complete file is downloaded. If the specified size value is greater than the actual size of the file on the FTP server, download the complete file. If the specified size value is smaller than the actual file size, download only the specified part of the file.
   Setting the TTL value of test packets	ttl value	The default value is 30.
   Setting the ToS value of test packets	tos value	The default value is 0.
   Setting the test interval	frequency interval	By default, no test interval is set, and the test runs only once.
   Setting the timeout for a single probe	timeout time	By default, an FTP download probe times out in 15s.
   Setting the maximum number of historical records	records history number	By default, there are a maximum of 50 historical records.
   Setting the maximum number of test result records	records result number	By default, a maximum of 5 test results can be recorded.
   Setting the aging time of a test instance	agetime hh:mm:ss	The default value is 0. That is, test instances are never aged.
   Configuring the system to send test packets without querying the routing table	sendpacket passroute	By default, the FW forwards the test packets based on the route queried in the routing table.

10. Start the NQA test.

    start

    Select one of the following start modes as required.

    • Start the NQA test immediately.

      start now [ end { at [ yyyy/mm/dd ] hh:mm:ss | delay { seconds second | hh:mm:ss } | lifetime { seconds second | hh:mm:ss } ]

    • Start the NQA test at a specified time point.

      start at [ yyyy/mm/dd ] hh:mm:ss [ end { at [ yyyy/mm/dd ] hh:mm:ss | delay { seconds second | hh:mm:ss } | lifetime { seconds second | hh:mm:ss } ]

    • Start the NQA test after the delay of a specified period.

      start delay { seconds second | hh:mm:ss } [ end { at [ yyyy/mm/dd ] hh:mm:ss | delay { seconds second | hh:mm:ss } | lifetime { seconds second | hh:mm:ss } ]
