Configuring an ICMP Echo Test

An ICMP echo test is used to test reachability of the destination host according to the ICMP echo reply
or timeout information. An ICMP echo test has the same function with the ping command but has more
abundant output information. You can use the ICMP echo test to locate connectivity problems in a
network.
Follow these steps to configure an ICMP echo test:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter NQA test group view
Configure the test type as
ICMP echo and enter test type
view
Configure the destination
address for a test operation
Configure the size of probe
packets sent
Configure the filler string of a
probe packet sent
Specify a VPN instance
Specify the IP address of an
interface as the source IP
address of an ICMP echo
request
Use the command...
