Example
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
destination-address ipv4 11.1.6.4
mtrace-source-address ipv4 11.1.0.1
mtrace-group-address ipv4 225.0.0.1
nqa status : normal
6.23 Configuring the NQA MTrace Test to Check the
Multicast Path from the Multicast Source to the Destination
Host
This section describes how to configure an MTrace test to check the multicast path from the
multicast source to the destination host.

6.23.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before configuring an MTrace test for the multicast 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 multicast path from the multicast source to the destination host, you can perform
the NQA MTrace test.
During this test, actual multicast data flows are required in the network and the destination host
must be receiving these data flows. This test can be used to trace the actual forwarding path of
packets.
This test provides the following functions:
l
l
l
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the MTrace test, you must enable the multicast function in the network.
Data Preparation
To configure the MTrace test, you need the following data.
Issue 01 (2012-03-15)
It can be used in multicast troubleshooting and routine maintenance to locate the faulty
nodes and reduce configuration errors.
It collects traffic through cyclic path tracing and calculates the multicast traffic rate.
It outputs the test result containing the information about the faulty nodes, based on which
the NM Station can analyzes the fault and generates alarms.
