Step Command
Remarks
6.
(Optional.) Specify the
source IP address of DHCP
request packets.
source ip
ip-address
By default, no source IP address is specified
for the request packets. The requests take the
IP address of the output interface as their
source IP address.
The specified source IP address must be the
IP address of a local interface, and the local
interface must be up. Otherwise, no probe
packets can be sent out.
The NQA client adds the source IP address
to the
giaddr
field in DHCP requests to be
sent to the DHCP server. For more
information about the
giaddr
field, see

3—IP Services Configuration Guide

Configuring the DNS operation
The DNS operation measures the time for the NQA client to translate a domain name into an IP address
through a DNS server.
A DNS operation simulates domain name resolution and does not save the obtained DNS entry.

Configuring the FTP operation
The FTP operation measures the time for the NQA client to transfer a file to or download a file from an
FTP server.
When you configure the FTP operation, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
When you perform the
put
operation with the
filename
command configured, make sure the file
exists on the NQA client.
•
If you get a file from the FTP server, make sure the file specified in the URL exists on the FTP server.
•
The NQA client does not save the file obtained from the FTP server.
