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.
You can enable both the HWPing client and HWPing server functions on an H3C S5600 Ethernet switch,
that is, the switch can serve as a HWPing client and server simultaneously.

HWPing Server Configuration

The following table describes the configuration on HWPing server, which is the same for HWPing test
types that need to configure HWPing server.
Follow these steps to perform HWPing server configurations:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable the HWPing server
function
Configure a UDP listening
service
Configure a TCP listening
service
Note that:
The HWPing server function is needed only for jitter, TCP, and UDP tests.
Jitter test is used to collect statistics about delay jitter in UDP
packet transmission
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.
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.
A HWPing test will generate a Trap message no matter whether
the test successes or not. You can use the Trap switch to
enable or disable the output of trap messages.
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.
