Test parameter

 

 

Description

 

 

 

z For DHCP test, you must specify a source interface,

 

 

 

 

which will be used by HWPing client to send DHCP

 

 

 

 

requests. If no source interface is specified for a DHCP

 

 

 

 

test, the test will not succeed.

 

Source interface (source-interface)

 

z

After a source interface is specified, HWPing client

 

 

 

 

uses this source interface to send DHCP requests

 

 

 

 

during a DHCP test.

 

 

 

z The IP address of the specified source interface will be

 

 

 

 

used as the source IP address of DHCP requests.

 

 

 

For HWPing tests other than DHCP test, you can specify a

 

Source address (source-ip)

 

source IP address for test packets, which will be used by

 

 

 

the server as the destination address of response packets.

 

 

 

 

 

For HWPing tests other than ICMP, DHCP and DNS, you

 

Source port (source-port)

can specify a source port number for test packets, which

 

will be used by the server as the destination port number of

 

 

 

 

response packets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

z You can use HWPing to test a variety of protocols, see

 

Test type (test-type)

 

 

Table 1-1 for details.

 

 

z To perform a type of test, you must first create a test

 

 

 

 

group of this type. One test group can be of only one

 

 

 

 

HWPing test type.

 

 

 

z For tests except jitter test, only one test packet is sent

 

Number of probes per test (count)

 

 

in a probe. In a jitter test, you can use the

 

 

 

jitter-packetnumcommand to set the number of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

packets to be sent in a probe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

z For ICMP/UDP/jitter test, you can configure the size of

 

Packet size (datasize)

 

 

test packets.

 

 

z

For ICMP test, the ICMP packet size refers to the

 

 

 

 

length of ECHO-REQUEST packets (excluding IP and

 

 

 

 

ICMP headers)

 

Maximum number of history records

This parameter is used to specify the maximum number of

 

history records that can be saved in a test group. When the

 

that can be saved (history-records)

number of saved history records exceeds the maximum

 

 

number, HWPing discards some earliest records.

 

 

 

 

 

This parameter is used to set the interval at which the

 

Automatic test interval (frequency)

HWPing client periodically performs the same test

 

 

automatically.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

z The probe timeout timer is started after the HWPing

 

Probe timeout time (timeout)

 

 

client sends out a test packet.

 

 

 

z This parameter is in seconds.

 

Type of service (tos)

 

Type of service is the value of the ToS field in IP header in

 

 

the test packets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dns

 

This parameter is used to specify a DNS domain name in a

 

 

HWPing DNS test group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dns-server

 

This parameter is used to set the DNS server IP address in

 

 

a HWPing DNS test group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HTTP operation type (http-operation)

This parameter is used to set the type of HTTP interaction

 

operation between HWPing client and HTTP server.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FTP operation type (ftp-operation)

 

This parameter is used to set the type of FTP interaction

 

 

operation between HWPing client and FTP server.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FTP login username and password

 

The two parameters are used to set the username and

 

(username and password)

 

password to be used for FTP operation.
