Configuring the HTTP operation
An HTTP operation measures the time for the NQA client to obtain data from an HTTP server.
To configure an HTTP operation:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Create an NQA operation and enter NQA operation view. | nqa entry admin-name operation-tag | By default, no NQA operations exist. |
3. Specify the HTTP type and enter its view. | type http | N/A |
4. Specify the URL of the destination HTTP server. | url url | By default, no URL is specified for the destination HTTP server. Enter the URL in one of the following formats:
|
5. Specify an HTTP login username. | username username | By default, no HTTP login username is specified. |
6. Specify an HTTP login password. | password { cipher | simple } string | By default, no HTTP login password is specified. |
7. (Optional.) Specify the source IP address of request packets. | source ip ip-address | By default, the packets take the primary IP address of the output interface as their source IP address. The source IP address must be the IP address of a local interface, and the interface must be up. Otherwise, no request packets can be sent out. |
8. (Optional.) Specify the HTTP version. | version { v1.0 | v1.1 } | By default, HTTP 1.0 is used. |
9. (Optional.) Specify the HTTP operation type. | operation { get | post | raw } | By default, the HTTP operation type is get, which means obtaining data from the HTTP server. If you set the HTTP operation type to raw, configure the content of the HTTP request to be sent to the HTTP server in raw request view. |
10. (Optional.) Enter raw request view. | raw-request | Every time you enter raw request view, the previously configured content of the HTTP request is removed. |
11. (Optional.) Specify the HTTP request content. | Enter or paste the content. | By default, no contents are specified. This step is required for the raw operation. |
