Remarks

Configure the source interface for
ICMP echo requests. The requests
take the IP address of the source
interface as their source IP
address when no source IP
address is specified.

source interface interface-type
interface-number

Optional

By default, no source interface is
configured for probe packets.

The specified source interface
must be up; otherwise, no ICMP
echo requests can be sent out.

Configure the source IP address of
ICMP echo requests

source ip ip-address

Optional

By default, no source IP address is
configured.

If you configure both the source ip
command and the source
interface
command, the source ip
command takes effect.

The source IP address must be the
IP address of a local interface. The

Parameters for an NQA Test
Group

Optional

NQA ICMP echo tests are not supported in IPv6 networks. To test the reachability of an IPv6 address,

use the ping ipv6 command. For more information about the command, see System Maintenance and

Debugging in the Network Management and Monitoring Command Reference.

Configuring DHCP Tests

DHCP tests of an NQA test group are used to test if a DHCP server is on the network, and how long it

takes for the DHCP server to respond to a client request and assign an IP address to the client.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you start DHCP tests, configure the DHCP server. If the NQA (DHCP client) and the DHCP

server are not in the same network segment, configure a DHCP relay. For the configuration of DHCP

server and DHCP relay, see DHCP Server Configuration and DHCP Relay Agent Configuration in the

Layer 3IP Services Configuration Guide.
