Test parameter

 

Description

 

File name for FTP operation

Name of a file to be transferred between HWPing client

 

(filename)

and FTP server

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

z Jitter test is used to collect statistics about delay jitter in

 

 

 

UDP packet transmission

 

 

 

z In a jitter probe, the HWPing client sends a series of

 

 

 

packets to the HWPing server at regular intervals (you

 

 

 

can set the interval). Once receiving such a packet, the

 

Number of jitter test packets to be sent

 

HWPing server marks it with a timestamp, and then

 

 

sends it back to the HWPing client. Upon receiving a

 

per probe (jitter-packetnum)

 

 

 

packet returned, the HWPing client computes the delay

 

 

 

 

 

 

jitter time. The HWPing client collects delay jitter

 

 

 

statistics on all the packets returned in the test. So, the

 

 

 

more packets a jitter probe sends, the more accurate

 

 

 

the jitter statistics is, but the longer time the jitter test

 

 

 

costs.

 

Interval to send jitter test packets

 

Each jitter probe will send multiple UDP test packets at

 

 

regular intervals (you can set the interval). The smaller the

 

(jitter-interval)

 

interval is, the faster the test is. But a too small interval

 

 

 

may somewhat impact your network.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

z A HWPing test will generate a Trap message no matter

 

 

 

whether the test successes or not. You can use the

 

 

 

Trap device to enable or disable the output of trap

 

Trap

 

messages.

 

 

z You can set the number of consecutive failed HWPing

 

 

 

 

 

 

tests before Trap output. You can also set the number

 

 

 

of consecutive failed HWPing probes before Trap

 

 

 

output.

HWPing Configuration

The TCP/UDP/jitter tests need the cooperation of HWPing client and HWPing Server, Other types of tests need to configure HWPing client and corresponding different servers.

Configuration on a HWPing Server

You can enable both the HWPing client and HWPing server functions on a device, that is, the device can serve as a HWPing client and server simultaneously.

HWPing server configuration tasks

Complete the following tasks to configure the HWPing server:

Enable the HWPing server

The HWPing server function is needed only for jitter,

You can configure multiple TCP/UDP listening
