1.1.2 NQA Server and NQA Client
In most NQA test systems, you only need to configure an NQA client. However, when
you perform a TCP, UDP, or jitter test, you need to configure an NQA server.
shows the relationship between an NQA client and an NQA server.
Figure 1-1
Relationship between NQA client and NQA server
The NQA server listens to test requests originated by the NQA client and makes a
response to these requests. The NQA server can respond to requests originated by the
NQA client only when the NQA server is enabled and the corresponding destination
address and port number are configured on the server. The IP address and port
number specified for a listening service on the server must be consistent with those on
the client.
You can create multiple TCP or UDP listening services on the NQA server, with each
listening service corresponding to a specified destination address and port number.
1.1.3 NQA Test Operation
NQA can test multiple protocols. A test group must be created for each type of NQA test.
Each test group can be related to only one type of NQA test. Each test group has an
administrator name and an operation tag. The administrator name and the operation
tag uniquely identify a test group.
After you create a test group and enter test group view, you can configure related test
parameters. Test parameters vary with the test type. For details, see the configuration
procedure below.
For optional parameters common to different types of tests, refer to
Optional Parameters for NQA Tests
.
To perform an HW test successfully, proceed as follows:
1)
Enable the NQA client.
2)
Create a test group and configure test parameters according to the test type.
3)
Perform the NQA test through the related
enable
command.
4)
View the test results through the related
display
or
debugging
command.
