FTP operation configuration example

As shown in Figure 11, configure an FTP operation to test the time required for Device A to upload a file to the FTP server. The login username and password are admin and systemtest, respectively. The file to be transferred to the FTP server is config.txt.

# Assign IP addresses to interfaces, as shown in Figure 11. (Details not shown.)

# Configure static routes or a routing protocol to make sure the devices can reach each other. (Details not shown.)

# Create an FTP operation.

<DeviceA> system-view
[DeviceA] nqa entry admin test1
[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test1] type ftp

# Specify the URL of the FTP server.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test-ftp] url ftp://10.2.2.2

# Specify 10.1.1.1 as the source IP address.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test1-ftp] source ip 10.1.1.1

# Configure the device to upload file config.txt to the FTP server.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test1-ftp] operation put
[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test1-ftp] filename config.txt

# Set the username to admin for the FTP operation.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test1-ftp] username admin

# Set the password to systemtest for the FTP operation.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test1-ftp] password simple systemtest

# Enable the saving of history records.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test1-ftp] history-record enable
[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test1-ftp] quit

# Start the FTP operation.

[DeviceA] nqa schedule admin test1 start-time now lifetime forever

# After the FTP operation runs for a period of time, stop the operation.

[DeviceA] undo nqa schedule admin test1

# Display the most recent result of the FTP operation.

[DeviceA] display nqa result admin test1
