Test parameter Description
File name for FTP operation
(filename) Name of a file to be transferred between HWPing client
and FTP server
Number of jitter test packets to be sent
per probe (jitter-packetnum)
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
HWPing server marks it with a timestamp, and then
sends it back to the HWPing client. Upon receiving a
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
(jitter-interval)
Each jitter probe will send multiple UDP test packets at
regular intervals (you can set the interval). The smaller the
interval is, the faster the test is. But a too small interval
may somewhat impact your network.
Trap
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
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
function The HWPing server function is needed only for jitter,
TCP, and UDP tests.
HWPing
server
configuration Configure a listening
service on the HWPing
server
You can configure multiple TCP/UDP listening
services on one HWPing server, with each listening
service corresponding to a specific destination IP
address and port number.
