Example for Configuring a Trace Test Instance

Networking Requirements

In Figure 1, a trace test needs to be performed to trace the IP address of VLANIF110 of SwitchC on SwitchA.

Figure 1 Networking diagram for configuring a trace test instance

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Configure SwitchA as an NQA client.

  2. Create and start a trace test instance on SwitchA to obtain statistics about each hop from SwitchA to SwitchC.

Procedure

  1. Configure an IP address for each interface and ensure reachable routes between switches.

    # Configure 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
    [SwitchA] ip route-static 10.2.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2

    # Configure SwitchB.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
    [HUAWEI] sysname SwitchB
    [SwitchB] vlan 100
    [SwitchB-vlan100] quit
    [SwitchB] vlan 110
    [SwitchB-vlan110] 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
    [SwitchB] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
    [SwitchB-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type hybrid
    [SwitchB-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port hybrid pvid vlan 110
    [SwitchB-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port hybrid untagged vlan 110
    [SwitchB-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit
    [SwitchB] interface vlanif 110
    [SwitchB-Vlanif110] ip address 10.2.1.1 24
    [SwitchB-Vlanif110] quit
    

    # Configure SwitchC.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
    [HUAWEI] sysname SwitchC
    [SwitchC] vlan 110
    [SwitchC-vlan110] quit
    [SwitchC] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
    [SwitchC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type hybrid
    [SwitchC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port hybrid pvid vlan 110
    [SwitchC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port hybrid untagged vlan 110
    [SwitchC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
    [SwitchC] interface vlanif 110
    [SwitchC-Vlanif110] ip address 10.2.1.2 24
    [SwitchC-Vlanif110] quit
    [SwitchC] ip route-static 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.2.1.1

  2. Create an NQA trace test instance on SwitchA and set the destination IP address to 10.2.1.2.

    [SwitchA] nqa test-instance admin trace
    [SwitchA-nqa-admin-trace] test-type trace
    [SwitchA-nqa-admin-trace] destination-address ipv4 10.2.1.2

  3. Start the test instance.

    [SwitchA-nqa-admin-trace] start now

  4. Check the configuration.

    # Check NQA test results on SwitchA.

    [SwitchA-nqa-admin-trace] display nqa results test-instance admin trace
     NQA entry(admin, trace) :testflag is inactive ,testtype is trace
