Example for Configuring the Performance Management Function

Networking Requirements

In Figure 1, the end-to-end packet loss statistics collection function is configured on SwitchA and SwitchB to analyze packet loss performance of the VPN between SwitchA and SwitchB. SwitchA functions as the measurement control point (MCP) in the statistics collection system to summarize statistics data.

The network maintenance personnel want SwitchA to send the collected statistics to the FTP server for further analysis. SwitchA connects to the FTP server through the network and there are reachable routes between them.

Figure 1 Networking for configuring the performance management function

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure Packet Conservation Algorithm for Internet (iPCA) on SwitchA and SwitchB to collect end-to-end packet loss statistics.
Enable the performance statistics collection function, create a performance statistics collection task, and bind the task to instances.
Configure SwitchA to automatically send statistics files to the FTP server.

Procedure

Configure iPCA on SwitchA and SwitchB to collect end-to-end packet loss statistics. SwitchA functions as the MCP in the statistics collection system.
# See iPCA Configuration to configure iPCA. The configuration of iPCA is not mentioned here.
Enable the performance statistics collection function, create a performance statistics collection task, and bind the task to instances.
# Enable the performance statistics collection function, create a performance statistics collection task, and bind all the instances in IP flow performance measurement (FPM) of iPCA.

[HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA
[SwitchA] pm
[SwitchA-pm] statistics enable

[SwitchA-pm-statistics-stream] binding instance-type ipfpm all
```
# Set the performance statistics collection cycle to 5 minutes and the number of performance statistics collection intervals to 2. That is, the system saves collected performance statistics in statistics files every 10 minutes.

```

Configure SwitchA to automatically send statistics files to the FTP server.

# Create a performance management server process, and specify the type, IP address, user name, password, and file upload directory of the performance management server.

[SwitchA-pm] pm-server ftpserver
[SwitchA-pm-server-ftpserver] protocol ftp ip-address 10.1.1.1
[SwitchA-pm-server-ftpserver] username user1 password pwd123
[SwitchA-pm-server-ftpserver] path d:/pmdata
[SwitchA-pm-server-ftpserver] quit

# Configure SwitchA to automatically send statistics files to the FTP server.

[SwitchA-pm] upload-config req1 server ftpserver
[SwitchA-pm] statistics-task stream
[SwitchA-pm-statistics-stream] upload auto req1
[SwitchA-pm-statistics-stream] return

Verify the configuration.
