Test parameters vary with the test type. For details, see theconfiguration procedure below.To perform an NQA test successfully, make the following configurations on the NQAclient:1) Enable the NQA client;2) Create a test group and configure test parameters according to the test type;3) Perform the NQA test through the nqa schedule command.4) View test results using the display or debug commands.For TCP, UDP-jitter or UDP-echo tests, you need to configure the NQA server on thepeer device.1.2 NQA Configuration Task ListComplete these tasks to configure NQA.Task RemarksConfiguring the NQA ServerRequired for TCP,UDP-echo and UDP-jittertestsEnabling the NQA Client OptionalCreating an NQA Test Group Required
