1050 CHAPTER 86: NQA CONFIGURATION
server must be consistent with those on the client and must be different from 
those of an existing listening service.
NQA Test Operation After you create a test group and enter the test group view, you can configure 
related test parameters. Test parameters vary with the test type. For details, see the 
configuration procedure below.
To perform an NQA test successfully, make the following configurations on the 
NQA client:
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 
the peer device.

Configuring the NQA 
Server
Before performing TCP, UDP-echo or UDP-jitter tests, you need to configure the 
NQA server on the peer device. The NQA server makes a response to the request 
originated by the NQA client by listening to the specified destination address and 
port number.
Follow these steps to configure the NQA server:
