provides more output information. In addition, you can specify the next hop for ICMP echo tests. ICMP 
echo tests are used to locate connectivity problems in a network. 
Follow these steps to configure ICMP echo tests: 
To do…  Use the command…  Remarks 
Enter system view  system-view  —
 
Enter NQA test group view 
nqa entry admin-name 
operation-tag 
—
 
Configure the test type as ICMP 
echo and enter test type view 
type icmp-echo  Required 
Configure the destination address 
of ICMP echo requests 
destination ip ip-address 
Required 
By default, no destination IP 
address is configured. 
Configure the size of the data field 
in each ICMP echo request  
data-size size 
Optional 
100 bytes by default. 
Configure the string to be filled in 
the data field of each ICMP echo 
request  
data-fill string 
Optional 
By default, the string is the 
hexadecimal number 
00010203040506070809. 
Configure the source interface for 
ICMP echo requests  
source interface interface-type 
interface-number 
Optional 
By default, no source interface is 
configured for probe packets. 
The requests take the IP address of 
the source interface as their source 
IP address when no source IP 
address is specified. 
The specified source interface must 
be up; otherwise, no ICMP echo 
requests can be sent out. 
Configure the source IP address of 
ICMP echo requests 
source ip ip-address 
Optional 
By default, no source IP address is 
configured. 
If you configure both the source ip 
command and the source interface 
command, the source ip command 
takes effect. 
The source IP address must be the 
IP address of a local interface. The 
local interface must be up; 
otherwise, no ICMP echo requests 
can be sent out. 
Configure the next hop IP address 
of ICMP echo requests 
next-hop ip-address
 
Optional 
By default, no next hop IP address 
is configured.
