test-type

Function

The test-type command configures the test type for an NQA test instance.

The undo test-type command cancels the test type configured for an NQA test instance.

By default, no test type is configured.

Format

test-type { dns | ftp | http | icmp | icmpjitter | jitter | lspjitter | lspping | lsptrace | macping | pathjitter | pwe3ping | pwe3trace | snmp | tcp | trace | udp }

Only the S5720-EI, S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731S-H, S5732-H, S6720-EI, S6720-HI, S6720S-EI, S6730S-H, and S6730-H support lspjitter, lspping, lsptrace, pwe3ping, and pwe3trace.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
dns	Specifies a DNS test.	-
ftp	Specifies an FTP service test.	-
http	Specifies an HTTP service test.	-
icmp	Specifies an ICMP test.	-
icmpjitter	Specifies an ICMP jitter test, which can detect the jitter on the network.	-
jitter	Specifies a UDP jitter test, which can detect the jitter during UDP packet transmission.	-
lspjitter	Specifies an LSP jitter test.	-
lspping	Specifies an LSP ping test.	-
lsptrace	Specifies an LSP trace route test.	-
macping	Specifies a MAC ping test.	-
pathjitter	Specifies a path jitter test, which can detect the hop-by-hop jitter during the ICMP packet transmission.	-
pwe3ping	Specifies a PWE3 ping test.	-
pwe3trace	Specifies a PWE3 trace test.	-
snmp	Specifies an SNMP test.	-
tcp	Specifies a TCP test.	-
trace	Specifies a trace test.	-
udp	Specifies a UDP test.	-

Usage Guidelines

After an NQA test instance is created, a test type needs to be specified for it as other parameters are configured based on the test instance type. To configure the test type for an NQA test instance, run the test-type command.
You cannot change the type of a running test instance.
An ICMP test is usually conducted to check the connectivity. However, it cannot accurately test the link delay. Therefore, to test link delay or other link performance, you are advised to conduct an ICMP jitter or UDP jitter test.

Example

# Configure the test type of an NQA test instance as TCP.
