Example for Configuring an FTP Upload Test Instance

Networking Requirements

In Figure 1, the speed of uploading a file from SwitchA to an FTP server needs to be tested.

Figure 1 Networking diagram for configuring an FTP upload test instance

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure Switch A as an NQA client as well as an FTP client. 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 the time taken by SwitchA to upload a file to the FTP server.
A user named user1 logs in to the FTP server by entering the password hello123 to upload a file with the size being 10 KB.

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
[SwitchB] 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 on SwitchA and create a file of 10 KB for uploading.

[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 put

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

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

[SwitchA-nqa-admin-ftp] ftp-filesize 10

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

Check the configuration.

# Check NQA test results on SwitchA.

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