HWPing Configuration Example

ICMP Test

Network requirements
As shown in Figure 1-2, Switch A serves as the HWPing client. A HWPing ICMP test between Switch A
and Switch B uses ICMP to test the round trip time (RTT) for packets generated by the HWPing client to
travel to and back from the destination.

[device] hwping administrator icmp
# Configure the test type as icmp.
[device-hwping-administrator-icmp] test-type icmp
# Configure the destination IP address as 10.2.2.2.
[device-hwping-administrator-icmp] destination-ip 10.2.2.2
# Configure to make 10 probes per test.
[device-hwping-administrator-icmp] count 10
# Set the probe timeout time to 5 seconds.
