Example for Configuring TWAMP Light to Measure Network Performance
Networking Requirements
On the IP network shown in Figure 1, a Huawei S series switch functions as an access device and also a Responder in the TWAMP Light structure. The Controller supports the TWAMP Light Controller function. A TWAMP Light measurement session is established between the Controller and Responder and reports the measurement result to the NMS.
Configuration Roadmap
- Configure an IP address and a routing protocol for each interface so that all devices can communicate at the network layer.
- Configure the TWAMP Light Responder.
- Configure the TWAMP Light Controller.
The Controller can start measurement only after a measurement session is established on the Responder. Therefore, you are advised to configure the Responder and then the Controller.
Procedure
- Configure an IP address and a routing protocol for each interface so that all devices can communicate at the network layer. The configuration details are not mentioned here.
- Configure the TWAMP Light Responder.
