A device generates traps no matter whether an NQA test succeeds or fails. NQA supports three types of traps as defined in DISMAN-PING-MIB. NQA also supports the sending of traps to the NMS when the two-way transmission delay exceeds the threshold.
Traps carry the following information: destination IP addresses, operating status, destination IP address of the test packet, minimum RTT, maximum RTT, total RTT, number of sent probe packets, number of received packets, RTT square sum, and time of the latest successful probe.
The following optional configuration tasks are performed on the NQA client.
These configurations take effect only after the NQA alarm function is enabled.
