This chapter describes how to configure Network Quality Analysis (NQA) to monitor the network operating status and collect network operation indicators in real time.
When NQA is used to monitor an IP network, the following test instances can be configured. Before configuring NQA to monitor an IP network, familiarize yourself with the usage scenario of each test instance and complete the pre-configuration tasks.
NQA can be configured to monitor an MPLS network. Before configuring NQA to monitor an MPLS network, familiarize yourself with the usage scenario of each test instance and complete the pre-configuration tasks.
Before configuring NQA to monitor virtual private networks (VPNs), familiarize yourself with the usage scenario and complete the pre-configuration tasks.
Before configuring network quality analysis (NQA) to check a Layer 2 network, familiarize yourself with the usage scenario and complete the pre-configuration tasks.
This section describes how to configure an Ethernet service activation test. This test is conducted before network services are activated and verifies whether the configurations are correct and network performance satisfies SLA requirements.
The NMS needs to obtain test results of devices. If the NMS cannot poll test results in time, test results are lost. Delivering the test results to the FTP server can save the test results to the maximum extent.
