Default Level

Usage Guidelines

By default, the source IP address is the IP address of the interface that sends test packets.

Prerequisites

Before running the datafill command, run the test-type command to specify the type of a test instance, which may be one of the following:

ICMP
FTP
HTTP
UDP-tracert
TCP
UDP
UDP-jitter

Precautions

You cannot change the source IP address for an ongoing test.

The specified source IP address must be the IP address of an interface, in the Up state, on the FW. Otherwise, the test fails.

Example

# Set the source IP address for test admin http to 10.1.1.1.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] nqa test-instance admin http
[sysname-nqa-admin-http] test-type http
[sysname-nqa-admin-http] source-address ipv4 10.1.1.1
