HTTP operation configuration example

As shown in Figure 12, configure an HTTP operation on the NQA client to test the time required to obtain data from the HTTP server.

# Assign IP addresses to interfaces, as shown in Figure 12. (Details not shown.)

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

# Create an HTTP operation.

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

# Specify the URL of the HTTP server.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test-http] url http://10.2.2.2/index.htm

# Configure the HTTP operation to get data from the HTTP server.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test1-http] operation get

# Configure the operation to use HTTP version 1.0.

[DeviceA-nqa-admin-test1-http] version v1.0

# Enable the saving of history records.

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

# Start the HTTP operation.

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

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

[DeviceA] undo nqa schedule admin test1

# Display the most recent result of the HTTP operation.

[DeviceA] display nqa result admin test1
NQA entry (admin admin, tag test1) test results:
    Send operation times: 1              Receive response times: 1
    Min/Max/Average round trip time: 64/64/64
    Square-Sum of round trip time: 4096
    Last succeeded probe time: 2011-11-22 10:12:47.9
  Extended results:
    Packet loss ratio: 0%
    Failures due to timeout: 0
    Failures due to disconnect: 0
    Failures due to no connection: 0
    Failures due to internal error: 0
    Failures due to other errors: 0

# Display the history records of the HTTP operation.

[DeviceA] display nqa history admin test1
NQA entry (admin admin, tag test1) history records:
  Index      Response     Status           Time
  1          64           Succeeded        2011-11-22 10:12:47.9

The output shows that it took Device A 64 milliseconds to obtain data from the HTTP server.
