3Com WX3000 operation manual HWPing Configuration, Configuration on a HWPing Server

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:

	Task	Remarks
	Enable the HWPing server	The HWPing server function is needed only for jitter,
HWPing	function	TCP, and UDP tests.
		You can configure multiple TCP/UDP listening
server	Configure a listening
configuration		services on one HWPing server, with each listening
	service on the HWPing
		service corresponding to a specific destination IP
	server
		address and port number.
