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.
The result table of NQA test instances records results of each test type. A maximum of 5000 test result records are supported in total. If the number of records reaches 5000, test results are uploaded and the new test result overwrites the earliest one. If the NMS cannot poll test results in time, test results are lost. You can send the statistics on the test results that reach the capacity of the local storage or periodically send the statistics to the FTP server for storage through FTP. This can effectively prevent the loss of test results and facilitate network management based on the analysis of test results at different times.
Before configuring test results to be sent to the FTP server, complete the following tasks:
Configure the FTP server.
Configure a reachable route between the NQA client and the NMS.
Configure a test instance.
