Configuring the FTP Test
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 more information, refer to "DHCP Server
Configuration" on page 797 and "DHCP Relay Agent Configuration" on page
813.
Configuring the DHCP test
Follow these steps to configure the DHCP test:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter NQA test group view nqa entry admin-name
Configure the test type as
DHCP and enter test type
view
Specify an interface for a
DHCP test
Configure common
optional parameters
As DHCP test is a process to simulate address allocation in DHCP, the IP address of
the interface performing the DHCP test will not be changed.
The FTP test is mainly used to test the connection with a specified FTP server and
the time necessary for the FTP client to transfer a file to or download a file from
the FTP server.
Configuration prerequisites
Before the FTP test, you need to perform some configurations on the FTP server.
For example, you need to configure the username and password used to log onto
the FTP server. For the FTP server configuration, refer to "Configuring the FTP
Server" on page 996.
