Example:Configuring an FTP Download Test

The FW serves as an NQA client to measure the speed at which the client downloads a specified file from an FTP server.

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, the FW serves as the NQA client. The test is to measure the speed of file download from the FTP server.

Data Planning

Item Data

User name and password of the FTP server

User name: user1

Password: hello@123

File to be downloaded from the FTP server

test.txt

Procedure

  1. Set an IP address for an interface and assign the interface to a security zone.

    # Set an IP address for the interface.

    <FW> system-view
    [FW] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
    [FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] ip address 10.1.1.1 24
    [FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

    # Assign the interface to the Untrust zone.

    [FW] firewall zone untrust
    [FW-untrust] add interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
    [FW-untrust] quit

  2. Configure a security policy.

    [FW] security-policy
    [FW-policy-security] rule name nqa
    [FW-policy-security-rule-nqa] source-zone local
    [FW-policy-security-rule-nqa] destination-zone untrust
    [FW-policy-security-rule-nqa] destination-address 10.1.1.2 32
    [FW-policy-security-rule-nqa] action permit
    [FW-policy-security-rule-nqa] quit
    [FW-policy-security] quit

  3. Configure an FTP download test instance.

    [FW] nqa test-instance admin ftpdownload
    [FW-nqa-admin-ftp] test-type ftp
    [FW-nqa-admin-ftp] destination-address ipv4 10.1.1.2
    [FW-nqa-admin-ftp] ftp-operation get
    [FW-nqa-admin-ftp] ftp-username user1
    [FW-nqa-admin-ftp] ftp-password hello@123
    [FW-nqa-admin-ftp] ftp-filename test.txt

  4. Immediately start the test.

    [FW-nqa-admin-ftp] start now

Verification

Run the display nqa results command to view the test results.

<FW> display nqa results
 NQA entry(admin, ftpdownload) :testFlag is inactive ,testtype is  ftp
