Configuring Dns Tests - HP 5820X Switch Configuration Manual

Configuration prerequisites
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
Configuring DHCP tests
To configure DHCP tests:
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter NQA test group view.
3. Configure the test type as
DHCP and enter test type
view.
4. Specify an interface to
perform DHCP tests.
5. Configure optional
parameters.
NOTE:
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.

Configuring DNS tests

DNS tests of an NQA test group are used to test whether the NQA client can translate a domain name
into an IP address through a DNS server and test the time required for resolution.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you start DNS tests, configure the mapping between a domain name and an IP address on a DNS
server.
Configuring DNS tests
To configure DNS tests:
To do...
Enter system view.
1.
2. Enter NQA test group view.
3. Configure the test type as
DNS and enter test type view.
