Configuring a DHCP Test
A DHCP test is mainly used to test the existence of a DHCP server on the network as well as the time
necessary for the DHCP server to respond to a client request and assign an IP address to the client.
Configuration prerequisites
Before performing a DHCP test, configure the DHCP server. If the NQA (DHCP client) and the DHCP
server are not in the same network segment, configure a DHCP relay agent. For more information about
DHCP server and DHCP relay, see DHCP Configuration in the Firewall Web Configuration Manual.
Configuring a DHCP test
Follow these steps to configure a DHCP test:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter NQA test group view
nqa entry admin-name
operation-tag
—
Configure the test type as DHCP
and enter test type view
type dhcp Required
Specify an interface for a DHCP
test operation interface

Required
By default, no interface is specified
to perform a DHCP test.
The interface specified by the
source interface command must
be up; otherwise, the test fails.

NOTE:
•
Because a DHCP test is a process to simulate address allocation in DHCP, the IP address of the interface
that performs the DHCP test does not change.
• When the DHCP test is completed, the NQA client sends a DHCP-RELEASE packet to release the
obtained IP address.
Configuring a DNS Test
A DNS test is mainly used to test whether the NQA client can resolve a domain name into an IP address
through a DNS server and the time required for resolution.
Configuration prerequisites
Before performing a DNS test, configure the mapping between a domain name and an IP address on a
DNS server.
