Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

A DNS test instance detects the speed at which a DNS name is resolved to an IP address. It clearly reflects the performance of the DNS protocol on the network.

Prerequisites

The NQA test instance type has been set to DNS test using the test-type command.

Precautions

If parameters need to be changed during the running of the test instance, the system prompts you whether to terminate the test instance. Press "Y" or "N" as required.

If you press "Y", the test instance is terminated and parameters changed. The settings take effect after being committed. To restart the test instance, run the start command.
If you press "N", the test instance keeps running, and the parameters fail to be modified.

Example

# Set the IP address of the DNS server to 10.1.1.1 for the test instance named user test.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] nqa test-instance user test
[*HUAWEI-nqa-user-test] test-type dns
