Configuring NQA templates on the NQA client

An NQA template is a set of operation parameters, such as the destination address, the destination port number, and the destination server URL. You can use an NQA template in load balancing, health monitoring, and other feature modules to provide statistics. You can create multiple templates on a device, and each template must be uniquely named.

NQA template supports the ICMP, DNS, TCP, TCP half open, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, RADIUS, and SSL operation types.

Some operation parameters for an NQA template can be specified by the template configuration or the feature that uses the template. When both are specified, the parameters in the template configuration take effect. For example, the server load balancing uses the NQA ICMP template for health monitoring. If the destination IP address in the template is different from the real server address, the destination IP address in the template takes effect.
