Configuring an FTP Upload 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 Put.

   ftp-operation put

8. Configure the file to be uploaded.
   • Run the ftp-filename file-name command to set the name of the to-be-uploaded file.
   • Run the ftp-filesize size command to set the size of the to-be-uploaded file.
   

   The uploaded files may have the following conditions according to different file names (configured by using the ftp-filename command) and file sizes (configured by using the ftp-filesize command):

   • The file name is specified, but the file size is not.
     • If the specified file is a local file, upload the local file to the FTP server.
     • If the specified file is not a local file, construct a 1000-kbyte file based on the file name specified by ftp-filesize.

   • The file size is specified, but the file name is not.

     The NQA client creates a file named NQA-ftp-client.txt in the size specified in the ftp-filesize command.

   • Both the file name and the file size are specified.

     • If the specified file is a local file, upload the local file to the FTP server. If the size of the local file is greater than the file size specified in the ftp-filesize command, only the specified part of the file is uploaded. If the size of the local file is smaller than the file size specified in the ftp-filesize command, the NQA client directly sends the file.

     • If the specified file is not a local file, construct a file based on the file name specified by ftp-filesize, and the size of the uploaded local file is specified by ftp-filesize.

9. Optional: Configure other FTP upload 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, the destination port of the test packet in the FTP upload test is set to 21.
   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, the expiration time for a single probe in the FTP upload test is 15s.
   Setting the maximum number of historical records	records history number	By default, there are a maximum of 50 historical records.
   Configuring the maximum number of test result records	records result number	By default, a maximum of five test results are 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 } ]
