Introduction

This document provides NQA configuration examples.

Prerequisites

The following information applies to Comware 9-based routers. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the routers.

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of H3C NQA.

Example: Configuring a UDP jitter operation

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, configure a UDP jitter operation to test the jitter, delay, and round-trip time between Device A and Device B.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Software version used

This configuration example was created and verified on R9141P16 of the MSR2630E-X1 device.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure a UDP jitter operation, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     Make sure the devices can reach each other before you start the UDP jitter operation.

·     Configure Device B as the NQA server before you start the UDP jitter operation.

·     You cannot modify the operation configuration for a running NQA operation.

Procedures

Configuring Device B

# Enable the NQA server.

<DeviceB> system-view

[DeviceB] nqa server enable

# Configure a UDP listening service to listen on the IP address 10.2.2.2 and UDP port 9000.

[DeviceB] nqa server udp-echo 10.2.2.2 9000

Configuring Device A

# Create a UDP jitter operation.

<DeviceA> system-view

[DeviceA] nqa entry admin test

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test] type udp-jitter

# Configure 10.2.2.2 as the destination IP address and port 9000 as the destination port.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test-udp-jitter] destination ip 10.2.2.2

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test-udp-jitter] destination port 9000

# Configure the operation to repeat at an interval of 1000 milliseconds.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test-udp-jitter] frequency 1000

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test-udp-jitter] quit

Verifying the configuration

# Start the UDP jitter operation.

[DeviceA] nqa schedule admin test start-time now lifetime forever

# Stop the UDP jitter operation after the operation runs for a time period, for example, 30 seconds.

[DeviceA] undo nqa schedule admin test
