Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

On unreliable networks, to set the number of probes for an NQA test instance, run the probe-count command. Then, you can monitor network quality by analyzing the probe statistics.

Configuration Impact

If the number of probes has been configured for an NQA test instance, running the probe-count command again overrides the previous configuration.

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 number of the probes for the test instance named user test to 15.
