Example for Configuring an FTP Download Test Instance

Networking Requirements

In Figure 1, the performance of the FTP download function needs to be checked.

Figure 1 Networking diagram for configuring an FTP download test instance

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure SwitchA as an NQA client.
Configure SwitchB as the FTP server. Log in to the FTP server using user name user1 and password hello123 to download file test.txt.
Create and start an FTP test instance on SwitchA to check whether SwitchA can set up a connection with the FTP server and to obtain duration for downloading the file from the FTP server.

Procedure

Configure SwitchB.

# Configure an IP address for SwitchB.

<HUAWEI> system-view

[HUAWEI] sysname SwitchB

[SwitchB] vlan 100

[SwitchB-vlan100] quit

[SwitchB] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1

[SwitchB-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type hybrid

[SwitchB-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port hybrid pvid vlan 100

[SwitchB-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port hybrid untagged vlan 100

[SwitchB-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

[SwitchB] interface vlanif 100

[SwitchB-Vlanif100] ip address 10.1.1.2 24

[SwitchB-Vlanif100] quit

# Configure SwitchB as the FTP server.

[SwitchB] ftp server enable

[SwitchB] aaa

[SwitchB-aaa] local-user user1 password irreversible-cipher hello123

[SwitchB-aaa] local-user user1 privilege level 15

[SwitchB-aaa] local-user user1 service-type ftp

[SwitchB-aaa] local-user user1 ftp-directory flash:/

[SwitchB-aaa] quit

Configure SwitchA.

# Configure an IP address for SwitchA.

<HUAWEI> system-view

[HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA

[SwitchA] vlan 100

[SwitchA-vlan100] quit

[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1

[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type hybrid

[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port hybrid pvid vlan 100

[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port hybrid untagged vlan 100

[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

[SwitchA] interface vlanif 100

[SwitchA-Vlanif100] ip address 10.1.1.1 24

[SwitchA-Vlanif100] quit

# Create an NQA FTP test instance on SwitchA.

[SwitchA] nqa test-instance admin ftp

[SwitchA-nqa-admin-ftp] test-type ftp

[SwitchA-nqa-admin-ftp] destination-address ipv4 10.1.1.2

[SwitchA-nqa-admin-ftp] source-address ipv4 10.1.1.1

[SwitchA-nqa-admin-ftp] ftp-operation get

[SwitchA-nqa-admin-ftp] ftp-username user1

[SwitchA-nqa-admin-ftp] ftp-password hello123

[SwitchA-nqa-admin-ftp] ftp-filename test.txt

Start the test instance.
```
[SwitchA-nqa-admin-ftp] start now
```

Check the configuration.

[SwitchA-nqa-admin-ftp] display nqa results test-instance admin ftp 

 NQA entry(admin, ftp) :testflag is inactive ,testtype is ftp
