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.
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.
