Configuring the FTP Test

To do...
Configure the next hop IP
address for an IP packet
Configure common optional
parameters
The DHCP test is mainly used to test the existence of a DHCP server on the
network as well as the time necessary for the DHCP server to respond to a client
request and assign an IP address to the client.
Configuration prerequisites
Before performing a DHCP test, you need to configure the DHCP server. If the
NQA (DHCP client) and the DHCP server are not in the same network segment,
you need to configure a DHCP relay. For the configuration of DHCP server and
DHCP relay, refer to "DHCP Server Configuration" on page 573 and "DHCP Relay
Agent Configuration" on page 589.

To do...
Enter system view
Enter NQA test group view
Configure the test type as

the interface performing the DHCP test will not be changed.

the time necessary for the FTP client to transfer a file to the FTP server.
Configuration prerequisites
