Run the display nqa-agent command. If information about the NQA test is displayed, it means
that the test is successful. For example:
<Quidway> display nqa-agent admin aa verbose
nqa test-instance admin aa
test-type mtrace

6.22 Configuring the NQA MTrace Test to Check the RPF
Path from the Multicast Source to the Destination Host
This section describes how to configure an MTrace test to check the RPF path from the multicast
source to the destination host.

6.22.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before configuring an MTrace test for the RPF path from the multicast source to the destination
host, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks,
and obtain the required data. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and
accurately.
Applicable Environment
To check the RPF path from the multicast source to the destination host, you can perform the
NQA MTrace test.
By performing this test, you can obtain the possible transmission path of multicast packets.
During the test, actual multicast data flows are not required.

NOTE
NQA test results cannot be displayed automatically on a terminal. You must run the display nqa results
command to view test results. By the default, the command output contains the records about only the last
five tests.
Run the display nqa-agent [ admin-name test-name ] [ verbose ] to view the status of the
test instance configured on the NQA client.
Run the display nqa results command to view the test results on the NQA client.
Run the display nqa history command to view the history of the NQA test.
Run the display mtrace statistics command to view the statistics of the MTrace packets.
