requests.
10. Configure the next hop IP
address of ICMP echo
requests.
11. Configure optional
parameters.

Configuring DHCP tests

DHCP tests of an NQA test group are used to test if a DHCP server is on the network, and the time for
the DHCP server to respond to a client request and assign an IP address to the client.
Before you start DHCP tests, configure the DHCP server. If the NQA (DHCP client) and the DHCP server
are not in the same network segment, configure a DHCP relay. For the configuration of DHCP server and
DHCP relay, see Layer 3
The interface that performs DHCP tests does not change its IP address. A DHCP test only simulates
address allocation in DHCP.
When a DHCP test completes, the NQA client sends a DHCP-RELEASE packet to release the obtained IP
address.
To configuring DHCP tests:

Remarks
Optional.
By default, no source interface is
configured for probe packets.
The requests take the IP address of the
source interface as their source IP address
when no source IP address is specified.
The specified source interface must be up.
Otherwise, no ICMP echo requests can be
sent out.
Optional.
By default, no source IP address is
configured.
If you configure both the source ip
command and the source interface
command, the source ip command takes
effect.
The source IP address must be the IP
address of a local interface. The local
interface must be up. Otherwise, no ICMP
echo requests can be sent out.
Optional.
By default, no next hop IP address is
configured.
