Performance Tests
Setting the network for RFC 2544 Tests
You may also have to adjust the network settings to ensure the test can run. In particular:
•NAT has to be disabled or should allow the IP and MAC addresses of the FrameScope™ Pro to pass through.
•Firewalls have to be disabled or should allow the IP and MAC addresses of the FrameScope™ Pro to pass through.
•ICMP ports need to be freed up for the network under test (for information request and reply).
•UDP ports 7 (slave UDP port) and 7777 (master UDP port) needs to be freed up for the network under test.
•During RFC2544 Test, the FrameScope Pro has a default timeout duration after a MAC reset. If the peer does not respond within the stipulated time, the RFC 2544 test will not start and will result timeout. Different switches may have different response time after a MAC reset. Users should select a suitable and appropriate timeout period for the switches under test with advise from their equipment supplier or vendor.
Setting the master FrameScope for RFC 2544 Tests
To perform a RFC 2544 test, you will need two FrameScope or FrameScope and loopback device, one as master and the other as slave. For initial settings on the master unit, see “General settings for the master FrameScope” on page 53 and then continue with the steps below:
1If the destination is a FrameScope, ensure that the slave FrameScope is ready for RFC 2544 test. For slave FrameScope settings, go to “Setting the slave FrameScope for RFC 2544 Tests” on page 65.
