Example for Configuring an ICMP Test Instance

Networking Requirements

In Figure 1, SwitchA functions as an NQA client to test whether SwitchB is reachable.

Figure 1 Networking diagram for configuring an ICMP test instance

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Perform the NQA ICMP test function to test whether the packet sent by SwitchA can reach SwitchB.
Perform the NQA ICMP test to obtain the RTT of the packet.

Procedure

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

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

Enable the NQA client and create an NQA ICMP test instance.

[SwitchA] nqa test-instance admin icmp

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

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

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

Verify the configuration.

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